I read that as "hi, if it is truthy, else len(a)". The advantage of ?? as None-aware operator is that it cannot possibly be misread as applying to arbitrary falsey objects: - for those familiar with the equivalent from other languages, the use of ?? to check for nil/null/None is familiar and obvious; - for those who aren't, the ?? syntax avoids leading them to guess the wrong behaviour, as "else" would do. P.S. I just had to delete 40+ screenfuls of irrelevant quoted text. Come on folks, please trim your posts!
