kibiz0r / coalesce Goto Github PK

Hi,

This is not an issue, just a comment.

I like _? very much: it's very unlikely to be used elsewhere, and easy to type. But, FTR, I have used the same idea, but getting wilder on Unicode. Of course, it's somewhat less convenient to type, but nice looking.

Cheers.

class Object
  def ⁇(x = nil)
    self
  end
end

class NilClass
  def ⁇(x = nil)
    if block_given?
      yield
    else
      x
    end
  end
end

nil.⁇ { puts 1; 1}.⁇{ puts 2; 2}
