Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against pattern matching (or the idea of the walrus operator and other recent syntactic changes). My opposition is towards making expressions much less context-free and greatly harm readablity as we progress.

WAs crashing Guix FOSDEM fringe earlier and gotta say at the design level, Big Blue Button works better for asymetric meetings (like ones with a host online lectures) than most video conferencing I've been experiencing so far, free or proprietary.

Yes I'm easily distracted to notice that, expecially when the topic is something I can barely grasp.
