I have a question about pattern matching: is it used often in math language as Mathematica?

I would love for Python to rely on a function to test for matches. To see what match-based actions could then look like, take a look at `Replace`: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Replace.html fwiw, Alan Isaac
