match isn't just equivalent to switch though, so in this case it actually makes sense to call it something different.

This is very true. Match statements are much more powerful that switch statements in any other language.

For instance:

  • matching objects very specifically
  • if conditions within case statements
  • pulling variables from inside of the object directly.
