Sometimes I want to write a quick and dirty conditional, i.e. munge_data!(x,y) if isempty(x) But instead you have to write: if isempty(x) munge_data!(x,y) end // which I don’t think is as readable. How do other people approach this? Would it be nearly impossible to add this to the language?

How to do one-liners and other short conditionals?

Allow me to short-circuit the discussion and point to the relevant issues: #6823 and #16389. Happy reading!

Syntactic sugar: (x==2) and y=12 ; or even (x == 2) && y=12
