| 05:38 | <bakkot> | couple people in this random reddit thread assuming that x?.y = z is legal, if anyone wants to pick that proposal up https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1cmccyh/i_built_an_opensource_library_to_automatically/l30559c/ |
| 07:22 | <Rob Palmer> | Did it get explicitly dropped? |
| 07:23 | <bakkot> | from the original proposal, kinda: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-optional-chaining/issues/18#issuecomment-343926065 |
| 07:23 | <bakkot> | since then I have heard people express interest but I don't think there's anything concrete |
| 07:26 | <Rob Palmer> | Oh that was years ago in the original Optional Chaining. A new effort started about a year ago to do this as a standalone proposal. |
| 07:28 | <Rob Palmer> | https://github.com/tc39/proposal-optional-chaining-assignment Updated 4 months ago. |
| 07:28 | <bakkot> | oh neat |
| 07:28 | <bakkot> | I have no recollection of this |
| 07:29 | <bakkot> | so I guess cc nicolo-ribaudo as champion, evidence from the wild that people expect this to exist ^ |
| 07:39 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Thanks, it's not the first time I see people assuming that it exists (that's why I brought it up) — I didn't work on the stage 1 feedback because I had higher priority stuff to do, but I'll see if I can find some time |
| 07:39 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | (and I'd be happy to add a co-champion) |
