I think it could have been worded better to avoid any confusion, but no
need to spam the ML with this, sent you a PM,

Yes it is only for longer statements, I didn’t write it here, it was
in the linked PR:
* Using ternary operators only for simple conditions.
* Splitting longer expressions across multiple lines.
* Aligning the ? and : branches for readability.

Paul already cleared this up, so just a quick reply: I assumed
from your post saying "We usually format ternary operators like
this for readability" that you meant in general - but if you meant
only for longer (to be defined, so an LLM-bot gets it ;-) )
expressions, yes, why not G-)

That's the idea, to use the multiline style only when there are
longer expressions like strings, method calls, etc.
Anyway I just realized there is no `groovy-developer` skill in
the groovy project, maybe Grails is the right place to work on it?

Hi Gianluca,
I might misuderstand what you propose here, but for me the
whole idea behind cond ? trueBranch : falseBranch is that it
is a one-liner.
Otherwise it is better suited for if-else-...
Having said that, I can see that this way of formatting might
make sense, if trueBranch and falseBranch are long(ish)
String/GString|s (which we in our code do not have) - but as
a general formatting rule, I would be against this.

Hi people,
I've proposed the following PR to the Grails project in a
rush, but I guess its proper place is the Groovy project.
https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/16055
We usually format ternary operators like this for readability:
String message = condition
? "Value when true"
: "Value when false"
Would you accept such PR on the groovy-developer skill?
Cheers,
Gianluca
