This is the crux of the matter to me. It's just too verbose, and the `if` and `else` keywords are lost in the noise of all the other words on the line. Plus the big win when it applies) is that if `a` is in fact something more complex, like `f(a)`, repeating it twice sounds like a performance penalty, and that's where `f(a)?.foo` really shines. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
