æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@packetcat depending on your audience that’s not the worst comparison but the kinds of patterns you can write cases fur are much more expurressive than C and you also have the conceptual overhead of implicit binding and destructuring, and you also get the benefit of exhaustiveness checking (though C compilers can sometimes kinda do that these days if you ask them to)

i know if from OCaml (whose pattern matching semantics are more or less what Rust uses, from what i understand) but the concept purredates ML by arguably decades, depending on what exactly you categorize as “pattern matching”

every time i see people attribute match statements to rust i get annoyed. that shit’s been around fur a very, very long time
