I personally have a gut feeling of rejection for every language having the unless keyword. This is why I hardly know any PERL and Ruby for example.
I have mixed feelings towards Kotlin's takeUnless scope function (I nearly always use takeIf with a negated predicate) because my mind forgets the unless version exists.
For me I don't know if it's because I'm not english native, but reading and understanding code using unless or similar negated boolean operators makes my mind stop computing amd becomes very hard to read.
Python already has this.
This has to be illegal. I mean, it's basically suicide incitement (or whatever is the phrase for it)
i assume "ifnot" wasn't edgy enough and makes inferior noises on custom mechanical keyboards? /s
I shan't!
I can actually define this in TCL:
% proc ifn't {cond cmds} {if {!$cond} {uplevel $cmds}}
% ifn't false {puts 12}
12
% ifn't true {puts 12}
%
