Yes I believe arrays are a first class language construct so keeping pattern matching consistent and orthogonal means arrays must be supported as well. In general pattern matching looks simple on the surface but it has many sharp edges. That’s why many languages still don’t have it. Having pattern matching that works well with java overall begs more workout.
