Min Wei commented on JEXL-226:
------------------------------

I know the Java heritage, though ?? is becoming a more pattern (e.g. Swift 
supports it too). 

Note that I am still experimenting with JEXL. And kind of curious about the 
main use cases by other people. I know it's originally planned to support SCXML 

Given JEXL is already departing away from Java (e.g. its lambda etc.), it might 
make sense to make it more "LISP like" expression language that supports 
defining new operators. 

Anyway, just a suggestion. Please feel free to close out this jira.  

> add ?? operator support

> Jexl already supports null-coalescing semantics with the operator "?:". So it 
> should be a simple matter to extend it with a different syntax.
