return foo?.let { doStuff(it, bar, baz) } ?: false

Thanks, I figured there was some way to use an elvis operator here.

personally, I like to avoid let when i can, by returing early when foo evaluates to null:

fun myThing() {
    val foo = getFoo() ?: return false
    return doStuff(foo, bar, baz)
}

That way the preconditions are explicit and handled beforehand, and the actual logic is not stowed away inside an extra scope.
