I frequently find myself doing this:
!(val).nil?
My code would be prettier if there was a method like
val.exists?
Is there something like that?

you can use the
unlessstatement, eg,which is probably pretty close to the ideal way to phrase it: if you had a
non_nil?method you’d have a negated statement instead of a positive statement like this one.
