Nesting ternary operators makes code more complex and less clear. Let's investigate other ways to write conditional expressions.

      they also said switch expressions, which indicates they want the switch statement to be settable directly to a variable with whatever the return type of the switch is.

        Match already returns the value which can be thrown into a variable.

      Nah, I meant switch, as that’s what it’s called in C#-land. See above.

      That proposal for matching looks interesting, but not quite the same, no.

        Are you sure?

        Your C# example:

        var output = input switch
{
    null    => "Null",
    0       => "Zero",
    > 0     => "Positive",
    _       => "Negative"
};

        JS proposal for match:

        const output = match input {
    when null:    "Null";
    when 0:       "Zero";
    if input > 0: "Positive";
    default:      "Negative";
}
