Hello Miguel Brito Yes, of course I understand that it is an experiment and 99% of your article is about adding your own syntax to Python which is super interesting and worth reading, but I believe it adds value to mention that it could be done already in pure Python. Best regards! Note: As you probably know in Python you can use False, 0, None, [], {} and '' as "not True" in "if" clauses, so in all cases: "if a:" should work later in your code, so the multiplication operator does work with str's: >>> a = 'hello' * True >>> a 'hello' >>> a = 'hello' * False >>> a '' >>> if a: ... print "True" ... >>>

Congratulations... I read about this on PyCoder's Weekly Isn't this enough for your use case (pure and simple Python)? >>> 42 * True 42 >>> 21 * False 0 >>> a = 42 >>> a += 1 * False >>> a 42 >>> a += 1 * True >>> a 43
