@bodil @FrancescoC Only Erlang has non-linear patterns, while it looks good it makes reasoning and transforming code more complicated.

@FrancescoC@bodil What I like in Erlang is that each feature taken separately is insane, but together they are beautiful. -
@nokusu@FrancescoC@bodil Erlang's pattern matching would anytime make sense all alone in any programming language. -
@pavlobaron@francescoc@bodil No it doesn't, not in languages with let expressions where you expect linear patterns. -
@nokusu@FrancescoC@bodil pattern matching in function/proc/method heads'd improve readability and enable contract-based approach. -
@pavlobaron@francescoc@bodil I have no idea how that is related to non-linear patterns. Patterns like {X,X} = … only fit in Erlang. -
@nokusu@FrancescoC@bodil ah. Well, the checking part is what I mean, not necessarily assignment. -
@pavlobaron@francescoc@bodil Now I shut up and stop spamming you three :p -

@FrancescoC@bodil The scoping rules are insane, but are due to the absence of let, which makes non-linear patterns feel natural.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
