    It's kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.

    That's not quite the argument you might think it is

        print( ["even", "odd"][num % 2] )

        If you need to avoid evaluating the wrong branch:

        print( [lambda: "even", lambda: "odd"][num % 2]() )

          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.

                        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.

                                      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
