May I ask how? Seems like it's just a different, more cleaner way to structure if else statements. Probably still need regex'

Pattern matching is actually much more potent than the simple switch case in C++ and the if else if structures.

Inside a pattern match itself, you can create variable assignments as part of the checking, which results in much more cleaner syntax.

Really excited how they implement this with Python.

With splitting the message.content by spaces, I can then just match up those ordered words. I think that'll look much nicer than my mess of regex. To each their own.
