Spicy opinion time!

One of python's least intuitive and ugliest bits is the ternary syntax:

foo = 5 if data is None else data

is equivalent to C's

foo = data ? data : 5

This is basically the middle-endian way of spelling it and I don't like it, and that's also apparently one of the reasons they now have arguments about adding a None-coalescing operator.

(on the whole it's a very minor thing tho I do enjoy python)
