Given the amount of confusion that the difference between `++a`, `a++` (and `a += 1`) already has caused, I doubt that would be a good idea. In most, if not all, cases the desired behaviour can be easier and cleaner expressed with two statements, and a temporary variable if absolutely necessary. > ``` > let a = 1; > console.log(a =^= 2); // logs 1 and then sets a to 2 > ``` would be just ``` let a = 1; console.log(a) a = 2; ``` kind regards, Bergi _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
