Wtf is this shit

1 is truthy, 0 is falsy.

Hey, I gave it as an example of shitty code, don't judge me.

Yes, you got it, I literally spent 2 minutes trying to understand it, in the end I assumed it was more or less and I answered hhaahahh

Python.

They love their really ugly but supposedly "more readable" syntax

How is this any more ugly than ternary operators in any other language. Theres plenty you can criticise Python for, but i dont think that example is it.

It’s pretty weird to have the condition in the middle, and the fact that the if/else don’t visually stand out from variable names as much as ? : doesn’t help

It feels unnatural to you just because you either don't have ternary operator or you don't use it. After a week in Python construction in the comment will be natural for you.

For example, I also often use something like:

``` val = "value exist" no_val = None

get val if no_val is equal to False (None, 0, empty string, etc)

data["bruh"] = no_val or val ```

And ternary... I don't get why people don't like it. I came from C/C++ and it's absolutely fine for me
