People ITT hating on null coalescing operators need to touch grass. Null coalescing and null conditional (string?.Trim()) are immensely useful and quite readable. One only has to be remotely conscious of edge cases where they can impair readability, which is true of every syntax feature

Languages with null in them at all anymore just irk me. It’s 2023. Why are we still giving ourselves footguns.

Because I use a language that was invented more than 1 year ago

You use the language? Weren’t they just for bragging rights and blog posts?

Oh yeah I forgot, first you have to make a blog post, then a devlog, then review the top 10 best features of JS es6 (9 years after it was released…). Then shitpost on social media network for the other half of the week, and boom! You’re officially a Master Programmer!
