As we’re posting examples I’ll add how lovely it is in Elixir. Elixir def not putting the fun in programmer memes do.
One reason I picked it because I can’t be trusted to not be the meme.
I would have preferred for the function to be called mod, since it’s the modulo operation, which in math is represented with a percentage or “mod”. Most programming languages use a percentage because of that, so do a lot of calculators.
Yeah, I agree that Elixir is a fine language for some tasks. I personally find the readability somewhat average, but it’s very maintainable (due to how it enables clear program structure), the error handling is great, and the lightweight process system is amazing.

def is_even?(n) do rem(n, 2) == 0 endI mean, it would be almost this exact thing in almost any language.
fn is_even(n: i64) -> bool { n % 2 == 0 }def is_even(n): return n % 2 == 0etc
Personal preference, but elixir just strikes a balance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading hieroglyphs so I’m actually happy to see it praised.
