I’m new to Go and I imagine the idea of adding a ternary operator to Go has
been discussed many times. Rather than repeat that, can someone point me to a
discussion about why Go doesn’t add this? I’m struggling to understand why it
is desirable to write code like this:
var color
if temperature > 100 {
color = “red”
} else {
color = “blue”
}
Instead of this:
var color = temperature > 100 ? “red” : “blue”
Is the ternary really so confusing that it justifies writing 6 lines of code
instead of 1? I realize I could eliminate two lines like the following, but
this isn’t a good idea if the values come from function calls since there would
sometimes be needless function calls.
var color = “blue”
if temperature > 100 {
color = “red”
}
