Sorry for the late reply. Also Nullish coalescing operator? Who makes these names? We should call it the elvis operator

Kotlin is heavily inspired by C#. Which also influences TypeScript. I think the lesson is, C# does a lot right! I just wish there was a 1-to-1 implementation of LINQ in TypeScript 🥳

You can always create a C#/Node project and call it from JS :D
