pattern matching explained
Pattern matching is a modern language feature that is similar to a switch / case statement.
With pattern matching, you can switch on the type of the incoming value, meaning you can reduce a lot of extra-verbose if-else branches just by replacing them with pattern matching statements.
You might consider using pattern matching if you find you're switching on types or states frequently, and want to handle the different cases in a concise and expressive way.
This project takes heavy inspiration from Rust's pattern matching idiom.
