I like doing that too, but the Zig syntax doesn't prevent that kind of arrangement, just makes it a bit wider. return if (value >= radix) error.InvalidChar

I like doing that too, but the Zig syntax doesn't prevent that kind of arrangement, just makes it a bit wider. return if (value >= radix) error.InvalidChar else if (comeCondition) error.OtherError else ... value; or maybe this, but it seems uglier to me: return if (value >= radix) error.InvalidChar else if (comeCondition) error.OtherError ... else value;
