By implementing https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12412 We would get the desired behaviour: ~~~ ruby false&.class # => FalseClass false&.inexisting # => nil ~~~ For me the situation: ~~~ ruby false&.class ~~~ it is a particular situation that can be handle using extra logic. I don't think there are enough case situations to add a new operator to the language. And by extending the safe navigation operator we will be making use of an already existent language feature. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12263: Feature request: &&. operator (shorthand for foo && foo.method) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12263#change-58797 * 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:
