A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Is it better to use `variable?.let{...}` or `if (variable != null) {...}`?

if `variable` is a local stack variable, I'd go with option 2 since its brain dead. If `variable` is a field, option 1 is more elegant

sorry, I don't understand what "brain dead" means in this context

any programmer from a C-like language is going to know what `if(x != null){ doStuff(x) }` means

`?.let {` is simply a kotlin-specific thing, ergo you need to be more comfortable with the language to understand it
