I am trying to avoid constructs like this:

val result = this.getClass.getSimpleName
if (result.endsWith(\"$\")) result.init else result

Ok,

Answer 1

We can combine How to define a ternary operator in Scala which preserves leading tokens? with the answer to Is Option wrapping a value a good pattern? to get

scala>   "Hi".getClass.getSimpleName |> {x => x.endsWith("$") ? x.init | x}
res0: String = String

scala> List.getClass.getSimpleName |> {x => x.endsWith("$") ? x.init | x}
res1: String = List

Is this adequate for your needs?
