The Hottest New Feature Coming In Python 3.10 - Structural Pattern Matching / Match Statement

My take on the most important new feature in Python 3.10.

It's the match statement and structural pattern matching.

SWITCH STATEMENTS IN PYTHON
FINALLY
HOLY SHIT
AND ITS ACTUALLY REALLY WELL DONE AND HAS SO MANY FEATURES YES YES YES

[karimsabbagh]

Python finally has something close to a switch statement, “on steroids” indeed

[davidjohnston]

I read the PEP a while ago. This is an excellent feature. I have a whole load of matching and filtering code for processing silicon data. I can greatly simplify it with this.

[Soul-Burn]

I'm getting crazy Haskell vibes. This feature will completely transform the language. What a time to be alive!

[nirmalpatel]

I first saw this ability in scala and immediately prayed for this to be implemented in python

[Omikronik]

honestly underrated channel.

I dont know why but im very excited for this

[barmetler]

Oh. My. God.
It even works with classes, nested stuff, wildcards, the | thing, it's so cool
It's just like haskell or scala or something

This is going to be really interesting. I loved the walrus operator, and I know it was a really controversial one, but it is very useful for me. I don't always use it, only when it seems the best tool to use, so all of the comments saying the code is going to be really hard to understand didn't make sense at least on my workflow. Everything continues to look like what it was, except there are some walrus in some if( x := re.match(s)) commands sprinkled here and there. My code is not pythonic, but that is just because I am not a good programmer, not because of the updates lol

I hope the community doesn't bash on this too, after all it does seem very practical and powerful

[hardikksharmaaa]

The greatest thing about this is no Fall through. Otherwise breaking in every Case like C/C++ would kill the vibe

[KingJellyfishII]

Seems very similar to rust's `match` statement, always liked that and looking forward to using it in python

[erbernaljr]

The main feature from Elixir I really liked. Not as clean as in Elixir, but looks more flexible and you get all that Python goodness, too.

[Banflax]

Fantastic explanation of the new feature

[Tal__Shachar]

Dude im in love with both your voice and content. You sound like the context free channel and I love every video of yours. Keep it up!

[qwertycomp]

This reminds me a lot of the match statement in functional programming languages (I saw it in OCaml). Insanely powerful tool, so excited!

[spacebibba]

Just reading through the implemented PEPs, I found this one to be especially interesting too, in terms of pushing readability:
"PEP 604 – Allow writing union types as X | Y"
This is MAJOR.
I really really like type hinting, but it messed up function signatures more often than not.
Python functions often tend to be very flexible and therefore need typing strings like this: Union[Dict[str, Union[int, float]], Tuple[str, Union[int, float]]]
That's unreadable.

New way: Dict[str, int|float] | Tuple[str, int|float]
Clear and to the point. Even better would be short-hand syntax for list, dict, set and tuple, by doing something like this:
{str, int|float} | (str, int|float)
This saves quite some characters and removes phrases like "Dict", "List", etc. from the type definition, as they are already defined by their respective enclosing characters.

[jonilarsen-haikarainen]

Nice!
I have had a few times, where I really wanted this feature in Python.

[shreydixit]

Just discovered your channel and I've already learned so much. Keep making such videos

[AntonioZL]

I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I have to say, everything you do is great! Keep it up.

[sbk]

I never thought I'd get this excited for a feature in a language

[SamCropper]

I started learning Python pretty recently in order to complete a project, learning what I need to know to solve the problems as and when I come across them. I just happened to be at a stage where I needed exactly this feature and it's just been released, awesome. Thanks for the video!
