know the features of your language

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Yes, it's very useful when applied correctly.
I'm always disappointed when I remember, that I can't use such a feature, because I'm stuck using Java.
Maybe you'r using an older version of Java? Works fine for me.
New versions of java have a null coalescing operator?
I didn't know that.
Edit: a short search didn't return any answers, as far as I can see java doesn't have this operator, the closest thing is the ternary if operator.
