I feel like if you need an else case for

let

then you don't need

let

at all, what you want is really the classic if-else

quiro: I hate to write if else. 🙂

@audhil can you write the snippet of code you'd want to replace with

let

? Maybe there's a better way

var session: String? = null
        session?.let {
            //  do something
        }
        else{
            //  do something other
        }

yes, probably you just need an if-else. Anything else would make it just more unreadable to me
