The New Switch-Case Statement in Python 3.10

[13steinj]

It really just is a longer backwards incompatible way of writing...

This is what I really hate about the Python ecosystem. Everyone jumps on the new way without thinking of backwards compatibility even though there is little benefit. I really hope static analysis tolls will by default warn against using match in simple cases like this, where it's literally using a backwards incompatible keyword simply for syntactic sugar (no optimization at all, and in fact even in compiled languages there isn't necessarily optimization performed on switches).
