    For optimal performance, you should rewrite it in Rust:

    inline_python::python! {
        print(js2py.eval_js("(number) => number % 2 ? 'odd' : 'even'")(number))
    };

        Are you just referring to how Python uses the English and/or instead of the more common &&/||? I think what the user above you was talking about was Lua's strange ternary syntax using and/or.

        no, the linked table shows how python also returns the first non-falsey result of an a or b expression rather than just giving a boolean. it's useful for initialising optional reference args:

        def foo(a: list = None)
            a = a or []
        

        works with and as well.

              Please. That's C's ternary operator. JS is just a pile of garbage cosplaying as a programming language

                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

                                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
