Can we get the Logical And(&&) operator

[oskarsh]

Hey,

can we get the && operator similar to the ? (ternary) operator?

Basically && is a logical AND so:

if (data.hover)
{
    Console.print('really not so smoooth');
}

can become just one beautiful single line of code:

data.hover && Console.print('smooooooth');

I believe you can already achieve something like this by using:

data.hover ? Console.print('not so smoooth') : null;

however it lacks class and elegance :)) Its also a javascript basic for years now.

@oskarsh already there just put it in parentheses. doesn't do what you want though, you still need a conditional statement

@ulrik Woah, that's not what I expected

[oskarsh]

@ulrik wait what? Is this new??

[ustk]

@ulrik Is this not dangerous? I mean console operations are removed/ignored at compile time so this might end up in a bug unless @Christoph-Hart has put a security... But I don't know...

[ulrik]

@ustk actually I don't know either, I just tested this yesterday but I will not use it in my code unless I'm sure it's safe.
But it could be tested of course.

The console operations are not removed but replaced with a noop, so the short-circuit logic still works the same.
