On one code review when Aaron used ?:, he said that he was surprised that I didn't object to it. I said that it's basically the same as the "or" operator in Lua or JavaScript, and I think it's used quite elegantly in those languages. I think it's ridiculous to refer to it as a ternary operator when it takes two operands, and by extension, in the PHP grammar, it should have been a single token binary operator ?: with space disallowed in between ? and :, but other than that, I am fine with it. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
