So you don't have a noop. This is basically the same as doing:
```
val unwrapped = optional
if(unwrapped != null) { doSmth() }
else { doSmthElse() }
```

Yeah me too, actually... The elvis operator can make stuff obscure at times.

The `?.let` notation is only preferrable to an old-fashioned null check if the variable in question is non-local so you need an immutable local copy and you don't need an else-branch, imo.

<@U3E25GSEP> it is not the same. if `doSometh()` returns null, `doSmthElse()` will be called too

<@U0D06TWMA> You're correct. I was implying that doSometh() was just of Unit return type and therefore couldn't return null. If that's not the case you have to get around that.
