The languages that work that way, like C and Python, do that
because they originally lacked a Boolean type. Retrofitting
a Boolean type results in weird semantics, like "True + True"
being equal to 2, as it is in Python. It's a classic mistake
in language design.
Go had a Boolean type from the beginning, and got this one right.
