I found that super useful in the AOC this year. :-)
Friendly reminder that Scala 2.13 supports direct pattern matching on strings!pic.twitter.com/7fRa2nEpyC

Any performance implications of using that matcher?

I suggest you benchmark per use case, if it matters. If it's not the hot loop, it probably doesn't matter. I suspect it'll be more efficient than regex because it parses the string literally and only "thinks" more in the places where you have a placeholder (name).
