I'm disappointed to see that everyone hates this PEP. I think null-conditional operators are pretty self explanatory even to beginners and they have the potential to remove a lot of boilerplate which actually could improve code readability in many cases. I wonder if this massively negative response isn't just a reaction to everyone having been burned by the PEP 572 debacle.
