Everyone,
If you've commented and you're worried you haven't been heard, please add your issue *concisely* to this new thread. Note that the following issues are already open and will be responded to separately; please don't bother commenting on these until we've done so:
- Alternative spellings for '|' - Whether to add an 'else' clause (and how to indent it) - A different token for wildcards instead of '_' - What to do about the footgun of 'case foo' vs. 'case .foo'
I'd like also to see considerations about the issue of an alternative spelling that would not resemble a class instantiation, brought first by Antoine Pitrou: ``` case Point with (x, y): print(f"Got a point with x={x}, y={y}") ``` And somewhere on the other thread, someone pointed the possibility of all assignments in a case be well delimited, even with angle parentheses - (yes, that addresses the "foot gun" again, but it is a step beyond dot or not dot in instant-readability: ``` case Point with (<x>, <y>): print(f"Got a point with x={x}, y={y}") ``` (AFAIC, the "dot" thing falls in the category of speckles on Tim's monitor) --
