One improvement might be if there was a ?:= conditional assignment operator. Just as

x += y;  is the same as  x = x + y;

and likewise for other binary operators, you could have

x ?:= y;  be the same as  x = x ?: y;

It could be read aloud as "if 0 equals" or "if nil equals", as in "x if nil equals y".
