Exciting stuff! Do you happen to have any simple descriptions/examples of where and how we might use this stuff in our daily programming repertoires? I for one am sure I'm not educated enough as to the value and utility of pattern matching - at the moment I just think "that looks cool" rather than "I'm definitely going to use that to do X and Y".
