Is it still valuable to have DGMs -- whether named "first()" or "firstOrDefault()" or whatever? Content assist does not propose "list ? list.first() : defaultValue". I suppose I'd need to create a code template to get that proposal in the IDE.
Are there any other small idioms like this that anyone has added as a template to improve the editing experience? ________________________________ From: Milles, Eric (TR Technology & Ops) Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2018 12:19:42 PM To: dev@groovy.apache.org Subject: Re: DGM for first or default "list?.first() ?: defaultValue" is not the equivalent. If the collection is empty, first() throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. That's why I'm asking if there is a simple equivalent. I suppose this is the equivalent now that I think about it: list ? list.first() : defaultValue ________________________________ From: ocs@ocs <o...@ocs.cz> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2018 12:07 PM To: dev@groovy.apache.org Subject: Re: DGM for first or default Myself, I am not a huge fan of adding not-often-needed functionalities (and actually would add almost none of those discussed lately); nevertheless...
