It reads as if coalescing would happen on the var while it happens on the array value. It means $a ?? 'value' would mean something different when in a list context. It also looks wrong with keys: list("name" => $name ?? "unknown") = json_decode($json) ?: []; I would expect: list("name" ?? "unknown" => $name) = json_decode($json) ?: []; But event then it looks fishy since "name" is a key and "unknown" is a value. I understand the need but I just can’t see a good syntax for it, and the one chosen in the RFC sure feels not good enough for integration. Côme
