Ahh so it's basically what they called the Elvis operator in Groovy, renamed as try. I kinda liked it when I did Grails for a bit, and thought it'd be useful in ruby too.
Linguistically it reads well as try, but can't help thinking it'll confuse my brain with Java's try/catch exception handling. Interesting evolution ey. ----- Original message ----- From: Tekin Suleyman <[email protected]> I found this new safe navigation operator for Ruby “interesting”: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11537 Basically the rails try method baked into Ruby. I’m not sure I like the syntax, but it looks like it’s coming to a future version of Ruby. > On 30 Oct 2015, at 09:55, Ian Moss <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey, > > I thought it'd be great to know what my fellow Manchester rubyists > have found interesting this week... > > For me, I did the standard 'JSON parsing is easy thing' when consuming > an API recently.
