If I understand correctly:
variable?.let { doSomething(it) } ?: doOtherThing()

But I don't think this is a good idea. It's hard to read and follow. There is nothing wrong with an if-expression.

True, if one has a hammer, all problems look like nails. (googled translation of the russian proverb)
You don't have to use null safe access operator to control workflow.
And never use the ?: operator after let. It may broke your code if let returned null.
I regularly see this question, is this case that common?
