Bach Vo (@bachvo) created a brand new RFC to deprecate tryInvoke. It builds on prime of the earlier RFC to deprecate getWithDefault.

The writer explains that, most often, perform arguments shouldn’t be elective. Within the uncommon event that it’s elective, the Javascript language has elective chaining so we will deprecate the utilization of tryInvoke.

Earlier than:

import { tryInvoke } from '@ember/utils';

foo() {
 tryInvoke(this.args, 'bar', ['baz']);
}

foo() {
 this.args.bar?.('baz');
}
