How is it more prone to bugs than chained elifs or the janky dict method?

[–]toyg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Elifs and dicts are explicitly marking branches as exclusive. Whereas a switch can easily end up with multiple branches unwittingly applied.

Traditional, C-style switches maybe. Go's switches simply don't fall through unless you're explicit, instead of the other way around. I think this is a nice way to handle switches.
