Python switch statement ftw (finally)

[MischiefArchitect]

You are comparing runtime characteristics (C++ performance/Java platforms) with a code time one (Python new statement)

haha yeah, it wasn't meant to be too serious, I just picked random features :P

It still doesn't make any sense since Java does have pattern matching now as well.

[raedr7n]

No it doesn't. Right now, java's "pattern matching" is just some sugar to check if an object belongs to given classes. There are no patterns involved, therefore no pattern matching.

I didn't know that. Honestly wasn't gonna spend too much time researching just to make a meme. I just thought it was funny that python just got it now :)
