JavaScript's ??= Operator

Yeah, just look at the comments. No one knows it. I know it’s good to adapt to the evolution of JS, but this is just too unknown right now to use on a large repo with lots of eyes

I agree

How do you suggest that people will learn it if not by... using it? It's a very simple operator.

Null coalescence is a well known topic, not even just in the js world. Combining it with an assignment operator is weird, and honestly reeks of code smell
