No, Ruby is more strict than that. Only nil and false are falsely.

Doesn't that shift the problem to caching false then :D

  • you can probably always just do something like:

      def no_items?
        !items.present?
      end
      
      def items
        # something lone
      end
    
      memoize :items, ttl: 60, max_size: 10`
    

    just makes sure the expensive operation results in a truthy value, then add some sugar for the falsey value, done.
