It was introduced at [r52422] once, but removed soon at [r52430] by a matz's objection. [r52422]: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/dbf73f6fc2a4b0414110eea64a9f98d33c2cf930 [r52430]: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/a3ee54f8a653f2e7c8ea88ef5ee9f3a49a248447 ---------------------------------------- Feature #14548: Allow some_array&.[1] to be a valid syntax https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14548#change-70638 * Author: rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Currently, Ruby allows accessing an array's index while testing whether the array is not nil with this syntax: my_array&.[](1). I've always found this awkward but didn't mind about suggesting anything to improve this. I was just reading about how JavaScript is probably going to support myArray?.[1] and found that it read good enough for me. So I'd like to propose about the same syntax, replacing ?. with the Ruby equivalent &. instead. How does that look like to you? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
