Issue #7511 has been updated by alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov). I have no opinion about whether it is needed, but a usual mathematical syntax would be `x -> y`. So it can be `-->` for boolean and `->` for bitwise. But this could be confusing because of other existing or possible uses of `->`, `<-` etc. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7511: short-circuiting logical implication operator https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7511#change-34412 Author: rits (First Last) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: I find I need logical implication (will use => here) in boolean expressions fairly often and even though a => b is equivalent to !a || b, this substitute is more difficult to read and make sense of in long expressions -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
