Status changed from Open to Rejected And it's too confusing. `ary&.[]` and `ary&.[]()` for example. ---------------------------------------- Feature #14548: Allow some_array&.[1] to be a valid syntax https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14548#change-78962 * Author: rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas) * Status: Rejected * 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:
