How is this "much better"? Once you understand the syntax of the ternary operator it's easy to read and easy to use.

Actually, it is much worse. Extra symbols certainly contribute to clutter and reduce readability.

More to that, in my opinion, "code flow" in functional languages is completely broken.

I have to remind myself how to read it every time I encounter it, and C and C++ are my dominant languages.
