I adore pattern matching when done well, but I'm sorry -- that syntax seems terrible and confusing. The use of `{ }` seems arbitrary. In JS braces are already used for both scope-delimiting and object literal notation; now they're going to have a third job? There has to be a better way. I understand it's based on destructuring; the syntax still just doesn't work for me.

it is trying match one object to another, like how lodash find allows using an object.

Ocaml, StandardML, F#, Erlang, and Rust all use that syntax for pattern matching. What other syntax would you propose to test values in a JS object?
