Absolutely, using Boolean(isThisTruthyValue) is indeed more expressive and can be clearer to read, especially for those who are not as familiar with the nuances of JavaScript’s type coercion. It’s great that you’ve highlighted an alternative that prioritizes readability and self-documenting code.
The choice between !! and Boolean() often comes down to personal or team preference, and the context in which the code will be read and maintained. I appreciate you bringing this up — it’s always beneficial for developers to be aware of different options that can make their intent more explicit.
