Empty subject in match and switch constructions

Hi! I’m thinking about making match (true) and switch (true) be more lightweight by removing the subject “(true)” and making matching “true condition” by default. So $var = match (true) { … } can be used as $var = match { … }. It’s often used in Kotlin. Pretty convenient way to use combined conditions. It’s natively understandable because there should be a condition: $result = match { $x < $n => …, $x > $n => …, else => …, } The same explanation for switch construction, but in Kotlin it’s the same construction “when": val result = when { x < n -> … x > n -> … else -> … } var result = null when { x < n -> { result = … } x > n -> { result = … } else -> return } https://kotlinlang.org/docs/control-flow.html#when-expressions-and-statements Conditions and loops kotlinlang.org when construction is overwhelming, but some features are totally handy, such as checking for class of the subject: when (obj) { is Class1 -> … is Class2 -> … else -> ... } Which was implemented by Ilija Tovilo in: https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/master...iluuu1994:pattern-matching By the way, what do you think about allowing to drop the subject of match / switch as a first iteration? Maybe would be better to ask Ilija to recreate his PR? ---------- Best regards, Dmitrii Derepko. @xepozz
