[$] An overview of structural pattern matching for Python

Python's match statement, which provides a long-sought C-likeswitch statement-though it is far more than that-has now been part of thelanguage for more than six months. One of the authors of the series of PythonEnhancement Proposals (PEPs) that described the feature, Brandt Bucher, came to PyCon 2022 in Salt Lake City, Utah to talkabout the feature. He gave an overview of its history, some of its many-facetedabilities, a bit about how it was implemented, and some thoughts on itsfuture, in a presentation onApril 29, which was the first day of talks for the conference.
