A server side example:
cachedValue = cacheEngine.get( cacheKey,
functionToReturnCachedValueWhenNotInCache );
Rather than:
if ( not cacheEngine.exists( cacheKey ) ){
cacheEngine.set( cacheKey, functionToReturnCachedValueWhenNotInCache(
cacheKey ) );
}
cachedValue = cacheEngine.get( cacheKey );
Just another pattern to help make more terse code I guess.
