I like how in python I can set a variable in a function as None if I don’t always need to use it. And if the function does end up being called with that variable passed in I can check in the function body by doing: id = id or str(uuid.uuid4())[0:8] In Julia however I do: if id === nothing id…

Is there a Julia equivalent for this Python syntax

id = (id === nothing) ? string(UUIDs.uuid4())[1:8] : id
