    That’s just because you’re used to it. The pythonic ternary is structured like spoken language, which makes it easier to read, especially if you nest them.

    Is there an objective argument for the conventional ternary, other than „That’s how we’ve always done it!“?

      The conventional ternary is structured like a normal if-else. In fact, in many languages with functional influence, they’re the same thing.

      For example, you can write this in Rust:

      let vegetable = if 3 > 4 { "Potato" } else { "Tomato" };
