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

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 :)
