> 6 years ago this RFC was written: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2497-if-let-chains.html https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2497-if-let-chains.html - which fixes my issues. But it still hasn't shipped. As someone who has worked a lot to get if let chains stabilized (but so far not achieved the goal), there is surprisingly few blockers: only an ICE. But the ICE fix requires doing some breaking changes, so it's being phased in as part of the 2024 edition. The alternative to doing breaking changes would be to make if let chains different from if let, which wouldn't be nice. Hopefully we'll have stable if let chains soon-ish. But note that nowadays on Rust, it's mostly volunteers working on the language, so things might not be as fast any more. In any case, writing a language from scratch is going to be ten times more involved than targeting nightly Rust where if let chains are available.
