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

is_prefixdoes ‘?’ have type definition in elixir or this is generally agreed design pattern?
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 withP(p for predicate)jealously weeps in ruby
