Description updated Status changed from Open to Feedback `&.` was considered useful because of `try!`. Is method call on an expression which may be `false` so frequent? ---------------------------------------- Feature #12263: Feature request: &&. operator (shorthand for foo && foo.method) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12263#change-57983 * Author: Johnny Shields * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Ruby 2.3 introduced the `&.` safe-navigation operator. I'd like to propose a `&&.` operator which would be shorthand for: ~~~ruby foo && foo.method ~~~ Unlike `&.`, this does not continue the chain if the variable evaluates to `false`. This would give the following result: ~~~ruby false&.class # => FalseClass false&&.class # => false false&.inexisting # => raises NoMethodError false&&.inexisting # => false ~~~ -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
