Hi Ilija,

Have you thought about what you'll do next?

I think the part about introducing "match" as an alternative to
hashmaps and nested ternaries is a no-brainer - there seemed to be
pretty good support for that.

Regarding an actual alternative to the horrible "switch", maybe we can
introduce it using "case/when" like in SQL?

If you're sure you're not going to pursue one of these options, maybe
let us know, so someone else can give it a go based on your excellent
work and while it's still fresh :-)

Best,
Jakob
