    In Elixir, we mark statuses by using a question mark at the end of the variable name. Something like this:

    authorized? = user |> get_something() |> ensure_authorized?()

    I like this better than the is_ prefix

        If it’s like Lisp, then ? is just part of the symbol and doesn’t have any special syntatic meaning. In different Lisps it’s also convention to end predicate names with a ? or with P (p for predicate)
