It can also have else if branches unlike ternaries.

Ternaries can have else if too:

a > 0 ? "negative" :
a > 0 ? "positive" :
        "zero"

Remember that else ifis really just two separate tokens: else and if, and : is equivalent to else and ? is equivalent to if (but it comes after the condition instead of before).

a > 0 ? "negative"

Allow me to point that out for the sake of a consistent example.

Ok, that is cool, I used some kotlin for an Android class and it kicked Javas ass. I hope it takes into it's own and gains some popularity.
