I don't think this handles conditional evaluation, or does it? With side-effect free branches this doesn't matter (like in your example), but if it's something with side-effects you'll run into problems.

Yes, actually from what Ashton said, it does indeed not offer the conditional evaluation. So in other cases, one could just write test = function1(); if condition {test = function2()}, which would be the same and would require no type assertion (faster). In the case of the answer where there is a return involved, no idea. Also depends on if both evaluations or at least the 2nd is very expensive or not. Still thank you for the answer! Seems a good idea despite this.
