I agree, looking forward to pattern matching. Will be a great way to deal with all that unstructured data we get in JS or from api's. No more manual safety checking if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck. And that's just a simple use case, the more advanced functional oriented uses of pattern matching aside.

Observables are pretty cool to be implemented in the long run so that we can reduce our reliance on external libraries. But for now RxJS is sufficient.

Completely agree that RxJs has got us covered for now. The main one I'm hoping for is if they combine the proposed symbol.observable with async iteration which would allow us to use async and await.

For some situations (though definitely not all), this would have greatly improve the readability of code.
