JavaScript Just Leveled Up: ES2025 – You'll Fall in Love With

Hmm... one moment. The first example function they provide:

    function handleResponse(response) {
        return match (response) {
        when ({ status: 200, data }) -> data
        when ({ status: 401 }) -> throw new Error(’Unauthorized’)
        when ({ status: 404 }) -> throw new Error(’Not Found’)
        when ({ status: s if s >= 500 }) -> throw new Error(’Server Error’)
        default -> throw new Error(’Unknown Error’)
      };
    }

Is less readable to me than the way I would write it without the match/when construct:

    function handleResponse(response) {
        status = response.status;
        data   = response.data;
        if (status === 200 && data) return data;
        if (status === 401) throw new Error(’Unauthorized’);
        if (status === 404) throw new Error(’Not Found’);
        if (status  >= 500) throw new Error(’Server Error’);
        throw new Error(’Unknown Error’);
    }
