I've seen a lot of code using an extra type to have as a fallback. This to me seems like not a very good way of putting use of the logical OR. Here's an example:
`var itemList = itemList || 'something went extremely wrong'` This is a really hacky way of doing things. I don't think you should assign your variable to a default by doing this. Been back and forth by this "issue" with some of the ReactJS members at GitHub, and while saying this is a "stylus" thing, I disagree. It is more about not reiterating your code. Options could be: -tenaries - long & !clean codelines -default params (ES) , though it won't be a general use case There is already a lot of assignment, string and so on operators, but I don't really seem any of them touch this, except maybe the bit-wise OR assignment Operator. To read more about that, check these two links out: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/81bads72(v=vs.94).aspx http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~bartlett/jsops.html http://stackoverflow.com/a/14871137/5893008 And that is really not the use case here. We don't want a bit-wise, we want a logical OR. So here is what I come up with. It's not rocket science but ... nah, it's pretty straight forward.. `var listItem || = 'I love open source!'` For me, this is one thousand times more clean and it makes sense. JavaScript teaches us and wants us to use `+ =`,` - =` and any other type of "abbreviation" , so this makes perfectly sense for me. Either I'm crazy, but it seems like this should have been implemented a long time ago. ( Perhaps I'm both). Implementation will be another issue, but let us discuss that too( just keep in mind this is conceptional) Without further ado, I leave this up to you to discuss, and hopefully a champion to fetch up to the committee.
