I'd love to hear an explanation of WHY this doesn't look like Python

and it should have been the word "add"?
There's a very long tradition of using the symbol "+" to
represent addition, so it's something most people are
familiar with. There's no such tradition for the new
operators being proposed.
There is, actually, it's just not a long one. C# has had null-aware
operators for a while, for example. I'll admit the syntax sits better
in a C-like language, though.
