This seems to work fine:
var a = true;
function foo() {return a;}
function foobar() { return foo() || false;}
...and as for personal opinion, I would be proud to write such code. Compact,
graceful, elegant.
Whether or not it's "readable" is strictly a matter of one's opinion--opinion
driven by what
you've been exposed to in your life (i.e., your experiences). For instance, my
opinion is that
braces are ugly and waste valuable screen real estate, but clearly others have
different opinions.
Each of us have different life experiences which contribute to our definition
of "readability."
