Issue #19884 has been updated by rubyFeedback (robert heiler). I am not sure that pattern is that common to warrant using &., aside from the syntax not being very elegant, but that may be my own bias against it (syntax-wise that is). I don't seem to need to do "defined?(Foo::Bar) && Foo::Bar.some_method". Is it that common to use "defined?()"? For behaviour change I tend to use .respond_to? or even .is_a? more often. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19884: Make Safe Navigation Operator work on classes https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19884#change-104619 * Author: p8 (Petrik de Heus) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- If a class might not be defined we need to add a conditional: ```ruby defined?(ActiveRecord::Base) && ActiveRecord::Base.some_method ``` It would be nice if we could use the Safe Navigation Operator instead. ```ruby ActiveRecord::Base&.some_method ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
