val x = if (y != null) y else {
    <http://log.info|log.info>("bla")
    z
}

vs

val x = y ?: run {
    <http://log.info|log.info>("bla")
    z
}

val x = y ?: z.also { <http://log.info|log.info>("bla") }

?

or

y ?: <http://log.info|log.info>("bla").let { z }

if you want to preserve that ordering, but that's approaching a bit codegolf-y

z.also { <http://log.info|log.info>("bla") }

seems more idiomatic.

<http://log.info|log.info>(...).let { z }

could suggest that

z

depends on the

<http://log.info|log.info>
