It looks weird at first, but it's great when used like so: return x unless err return y if condition ... return z Keeping all of your "return"

It looks weird at first, but it's great when used like so: return x unless err return y if condition ... return z Keeping all of your "return"s at the start of the line makes it much easier to see, at a glance, what the possible return values of your function are. (And, of course, when you see a "return" in the middle of your function, you know there must be a condition attached.)

The traditional alternative also puts your returns at the beginnings of lines. It just uses a lot more lines. if (!err) { return x; } if (condition) { return y; } ...

  Not if you do if (!err) return x; if (condition) return y;
