Ruby has a method for this :)

[1] pry(main)> vars = ["one", "two", nil, "three"]
=> ["one", "two", nil, "three"]
[2] pry(main)> vars.compact
=> ["one", "two", "three"]

In Ruby, 0 and "" is truthy, so this would be a little different than the Python interpretation. You could filter with #select, but you'd typically write your code around this instead.

What the fuck?

Lua is the same. Only false and nil are "falsey".

I remember I fixed a bug in a mod for Minetest that assumed 0 was false and caused an infinite loop.
