Does anyone here has strong opinions on using ternary operators for their side effect? Imho a small side effects can drastically improve code readability, alltough i agree that in most cases using side effects would be considered code smell

typescript code snippet of a return statement which uses the ternary operator while making use of side effects to call a function in addition to returning a value, while only the value is returned.

the code-snippet reads the following:
return (condition) ? (someFunction(), someValue) : (otherFunction(), otherValue)
