The eternal struggle between modern and traditional null-checking approaches! The top shows Kotlin's fancy safe call operator (nullableThing?
) with the let
blockβa one-liner that handles nulls elegantly. Meanwhile, the bottom shows the old-school explicit null check with an if statement that your grandfather probably wrote in Java back when dial-up internet was still cool. Developers with Stockholm syndrome for verbose code are nodding in agreement with "Embrace tradition" while secretly knowing the top version is objectively better but requires learning something new. It's like choosing between a smart electric car and a gas-guzzling muscle car because "they don't make 'em like they used to!"
