In regular programming, zero is false and anything else is true.

In ZK cryptography, zero is true and anything else is false.

Hmm. Isn’t this also the case in Hoon, the urbit language? Though iirc that was just an arbitrary design flex with no reasoning behind it.

That is an arbitrary design flex in my book :)

and iirc its not arbitrary, but a nod to linux exit codes and also an intentional hurdle to keep "normie" devs away

It is, they call it a "loobean" instead of a "boolean."
