      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.

          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.

              Lisps makes more sense to me though

              (if condition a b)

              VS

              a if condition else b

                    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 (and or) but it could be.

                          Luckily I don't need to read or write bytecode and all that matters to me is the syntax

                                At least you guys have ternary syntax cries in kotlin.

                                        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.
