Let’s all remember that Python is supposed to be beautiful and readable, this operator adds a little bit of clutter to the code, do I believe it should not exist? No, we all should just grow up and face the fact that a philosophy can’t be recreated purely because you end up with a code either too big or too constricted. I will never be using it, but I get the fact that there are cases in where this operator will end up saving some required space.
