So Dart is moving in the Swift direction, which has if let value = value { // a new binding named ‘value’ refers to value, unwrapped } or (newer syntax that I initially found even weirder than the older one, but both grew on me) if let value { // a new binding named ‘value’ refers to value, unwrapped } (The old version will remain, as it is more flexible, allowing such things as if let baz = foo.bar(42) { // a new binding named ‘baz’ refers to foo.bar(42), unwrapped } )
