Does Ruby have syntax for safe navigation operator of nil values, like in Groovy?

Question

In Groovy, there is a nice syntax for working with null values.

For example, I can do an if statement:

if (obj1?.obj2?.value) {

}

try was the only standard way to do this before Ruby 2.3. With Ruby 2.3 you can do:

if obj1&.obj2&.value

end

Also, if you have a hash structure, you can use the _. operator with Hashie:

require 'hashie'
myhash = Hashie::Mash.new({foo: {bar: "blah" }})

myhash.foo.bar
=> "blah"    

myhash.foo?
=> true

# use "underscore dot" for multi-level testing
myhash.foo_.bar?
=> true
myhash.foo_.huh_.what?
=> false
