It was merely an observation. Of course, one can simply negate the value before passing it to jo.
jo looked as though it was for use in the shell though, so I was curious as to the design decision here.
- jpmens 11y agoI intended True to be, well, TRUE (1). TBH I didn't consider a shell's success (0) as true, though I do see your use-case.

I think it makes sense how it is, since if I typed "success@1" I wouldn't expect that to output "{success: false}" but I definitely appreciate your point about a case like "success@$?". > Of course, one can simply negate the value before passing it to jo. What's the shortest way to do that? This? echo success@$(test $? -ne 0; echo $?)
- kbd 11y agoShortest way: $ false; echo success@$((! $?)) success@0
