Booleans & Unknown

Logic in dryLang is kept incredibly short.

Booleans (t and f)

There is no true or false keyword. Instead, use the 1-character equivalents:

• t (true)
• f (false)

is_admin = t
is_guest = f

The 3rd State: unknown

Sometimes a state is missing, unresolvable, or essentially "null". In dryLang, this is represented by the unknown keyword.

data = unknown

Truthiness of unknown

unknown behaves as falsy in conditions.

if (data) {
    pt("This won't run")
} el {
    pt("Falsy or unknown!") // This runs
}

Null Coalescing (??)

You can use the ?? operator to provide a fallback value if a variable is unknown.

a = unknown
fallback = a ?? "default value"
pt(fallback) // "default value"
