I tend to agree that ? looks like "if then" when what we really want is some sort of coalescing, or "if not then".
foo ?? { bar }
foo ?/ { bar }
foo ?: { bar }
foo ?> { bar }
foo ||> { bar }
Im not sure I like the idea at all though. It seems like a hack around a pretty explicit design choice. Although I do tend to agree the error handling boilerplate is kind of annoying.
