Nested ternaries are fairly readable in JavaScript these days due to the use of Prettier for code formatting. gofmt could do the same. For example, this:
lc_unicodeliterals = quote=='u' ? 1 : quote=='U' ? 0 : !!(ast.locale.set & AST_LC_unicodeliterals); could be formatted to this: lc_unicodeliterals = quote == 'u' ? 1 : quote == 'U' ? 0 : !!(ast.locale.set & AST_LC_unicodeliterals); On Wed, Apr 24, 2019 at 4:02 PM Kurtis Rader <kra...@skepticism.us> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 24, 2019 at 1:14 PM andrey mirtchovski <mirtchov...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Here's the lore associated with the subject: Ken wanted ternary, Rob >> and Robert did not.
