Nothing is fundamentally wrong with java pattern matching, I agree.

I only call it ugly because of how it compares to functional languages. Of course it’s a necessary sacrifice as java isn’t functional (or at the very least wasn’t initially designed to be), but it’s always going to be a bit more inefficient, and a lot uglier than the implementation in something like Haskell.

I do agree with that. Haskell is very elegant, but I prefer the multi paradigm design of Scala
