Some languages (like rust/zig) allow you to use `if` statements as expressions. Something like: let x = if (cond) { value } else { value } which would make nested conditions much nicer

I still think that’s less clear than this. let x; if (expr) { Do stuff and assign value to x } else { Do other stuff and assign value to x } The problem with nesting ternary operations is that you have to build this weird mental model to understand them, rather than just read the code.
