>The purpose of multiple dispatch is extensibility, but the purpose of pattern matching is destructuring. Agreed! ;) Just wanted to point out, that I was able to use multiple dispatch elegantly in the unroll example, where you are using pattern matching. >pattern matching compiles down to those low level operations So I guess that means Julia could indeed satisfy you, if we gave those low level operations some more syntactic sugar? Have you seen: http://kmsquire.github.io/Match.jl/latest/ http://kmsquire.github.io/Match.jl/latest/ ? >Let me just say that it is really difficult to know ahead of time how a particular language feature would affect your programming life True story. I'll try to be more observant when writing code and see, if I could actually solve things more elegantly with better pattern matching. Btw, I'm writing on an article about GPU programming in Julia - do you have feature you'd like to have explained, or a killer feature you believe we can't do and that would impress you if we did?
