implicit conversion - Why are non-boolean values not implicitly converted in boolean expressions? -


some programming languages evaluate

5 == true

to true, or allow 

if 5 expr

by converting 5 bool.

julia not. why?

because == equivalence relation.

in julia, true, when converted integer, becomes 1, , 1 == true. if true == 5, in order == preserve transitivity, imply 1 == 5
