I think
print("Remember to wear sunscreen!") if hot_outside unless Weather.is_raining()
Is more readable than
if hot_outside and not Weather.is_raining(): print("Remember to wear sunscreen!")
I think the unless syntax would be especially useful when there is a series of functions like this.
The general use case would be:
side_effecting_expression if frequent_condition unless rare_condition
Can you find some non-toy examples where this forked condition is actually better than simply using a boolean operator? ChrisA
