Overview

When something is True / False and I can to_s it, why can’t I to_i it? There is actually a good theoretical reason, but in real world it really helps if you can output true or false as an int when you are sending soap request to a client, whose api requires it as 1 or 0, or humanize to “yes” & “no” form.
