Crimes with Python's Pattern Matching • Hillel Wayne
Let's make the CPython team regret adding pattern matching to Python!
Hasnain says:
The examples here are basically black magic.
“Should I use this?
God no.
The pattern matching feature is, on the whole, pretty reasonably designed, and people will expect it to behave in reasonable ways. Whereas __subclasshook__ is extremely dark magic. This kind of chicanery might have a place in the dark beating heart of a complex library, certainly not for any code your coworkers will have to deal with.”
