A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I wonder if there is any recommendation to use `==` vs `?:` in order to operate with `Boolean?`. I generally try to avoid `@Nullable` types, but sometimes they are inevitable.
I find more ‘natural’
```
value == false
```
Over
```
value ?: false
```
It seems more explicit and also easier to understand by developers new to Kotlin. Do you have any recommendations?

See <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0922A726/p1572347452220800?thread_ts=1572347452.220800&amp;cid=C0922A726> for yesterday's discussion about this. The official standard says to use `==`.

for the topic started example 2 is easier to read (evaluate) for me

the first makes me always think what is result of null == false

but maybe because I’m not used to this construction

== is recommended by official Kotlin style guide

indeed, it was pointed out in the other conversation <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coding-conventions.html#using-nullable-boolean-values-in-conditions>
