Really like what I'm seeing so far with cyber. Thank you!
Congrats on the big 0.4 release.
Any plans for implementing an ergonomic null safe operator (or safe navigation operator or equivalent)? Use case:
my test = [ 'hello':'world', 'blah':'blah']
my output = ''
output = try "$(test.hello)"
print output -- world
output = try "$(test.hello.missing)"
print output -- none ... Awesome! Easy.
output = try "$(test.hello.missing.goodbye)"
print output -- panic: Field not found in value.Would be great to see Cyber handling missing nested items in maps with try/catch or ideally implement question mark operators (?? and/or ?. etc)
Why bother? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIhQYRNBAYs
