+# Nicht
+
+A more natural way to use `not`.
+
+> Might be easier to read in a voice that doesn't sound like Borat
+
+## Motivation
+
+Boolean conditions sometimes require mental gymnastics from the reader especially on more complicated expressions which may lead to [subtle bugs](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/google-pushed-a-one-character-typo-to-production-bricking-chrome-os-devices/).
+
+Some languages have a `not` keyword available to reduce this kind of bugs especially with the sometimes hard to see single `!` negatiting whole expressions.
+
+Unfortunately this is not the case in rust.
+
+Instead the `std::ops::Not` can only be applied to the end of an expression making it hard to read again.
+
+## Usage
+
+This is the `std` way of using `not`:
+
+```rust
+use std::ops::Not;
+
+if foo.some_condition().not() {
+    // etc.
+}
+```
+
+With this crate you can achieve the more natural way of reading code like `if not some condition` is true.
+
+```rust
+use nicht::not;
+
+if not(foo.some_condition()) {
+    // etc.
+}
+```
