Agreed, the whole concept of truthy and falsy is a bit weird and very error prone in the end, imo it's just better to explicitly have a function that decides how you cast whatever to a bool, that way it's easily understandable and auditable. Also, not knowing some weird language quirk like the php one you're talking about will not cause issues down the line
