Please. That's C's ternary operator. JS is just a pile of garbage cosplaying as a programming language
Why do you say it's a pile of garbage?
-
The ternary syntax is really my only real gripe with python design -- putting the conditional BETWEEN the true and false values feels so very messy to me.

It's kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]You clearly haven't used Perl a lot. Perl's ternary looks like:
$even = $num % 2 ? "nay" : "yay";
Incidentally, it is also the same as PHP's, but mainly because PHP stole it.

(if condition a b)
VS
a if condition else b

Because of all the garbage

You do get the if in the middle of stuff though in the form print(debug message) if $debug

Full circle
Make sure the browser is made using Rust and run on a VM running on Linux, compiled to WASM.

Just send pseudo code to AI and compile straight to binary.

Wait until you learn that postfix conditionals are syntactic sugar and the compiler* turns that line into the equivalent of
$debug and print(debug message), putting the conditional in first place, a lot like the ternary operator.* Perl compiles to bytecode before running.
The ternary operator itself isn't implemented in terms of
and(andor) but it could be. -

Clearly the garbage collector is too effective

I was more talking about
(+ a b)and such. -

At least you guys have ternary syntax cries in kotlin.

perl -e 'print "fart\n" if 1;' -
You know, the stuff in @_
heheh. I wasn't really making an argument though

It certainly has its issues. I find that the things people have trouble with are the things I tend to like about it. Of course, reading it later is a problem sometimes.
Write only language!
I still reach for it sometimes.

No they're not supposed to be piling it up

The point of code is to be read by other humans, not just computers.
