Issue #12519 has been updated by Robert A. Heiler. Yes, confusing and also not very pretty. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12519: Expansion of modifier_if and modifier_unless https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12519#change-59360 * Author: Blaise Koch * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Hi all. I propose a syntax change to allow the below to be valid ruby. ```ruby variable = 1 if false else 2 ``` This is an extension of the current `modifier_if` below which accomplishes the same result. ```ruby variable = 1 if false variable = 2 if !false ``` keeping up with the other condition-statement keyword the below should be valid as well. ```ruby variable = 1 unless true else 2 ``` And is an extension of ```ruby variable = 1 unless true variable = 2 unless !true ``` While it's true that ternary syntax accomplishes the same task, I feel that the proposed changes are both more readable and a more natural extension of the language. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
