A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I would read `foo.if { bar() }` as return `foo` if `bar()` is true

Thinking of which, isn't that bad of a concept actually

Just hard to deal with on a control-flow approach if there is no `else` case, unless it returned `null`

yeah, the result would have to be a nullable type which is suboptimal

that's how ternary operator in python works:

`foo if condition else bar`

Being able to assign `if-else` and `when` blocks is a nice feature, but i'd like to be able to use `condition ? foo : bar` instead of `if (condition) foo else bar` for the same reason that i like python ternary over C/Java ternary.
