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

    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";
      }

        Aha, yeah, I see it now. Looking forward to it.
