Sure, but we could use "return", or some other keyword. My point was
that the syntax could look a lot closer to a switch sta
Hi Rowan
I agree that the structure of the RFC is sub optimal. Honestly, I've
rewritten and moved things at least 5 times and it's still not good.
I'll see how I can improve it.

If the intention is to make this feel like an expression version of the switch

To expand on this a bit, if the aim is "a switch statement, but usable
as an expression", then it would make

I think this confusion is there in your proposal, not just in people's
responses to it.
Hi internals

In relation to "Some people have asked why we don't reuse the syntax of the
switch statement". I do not think that it could cause a conflict with an
array. The same is valid for anonymous functions or classes: you need use
terminator (";"). I still prefer it than create another format to switch.

Hi internals
A few days ago I opened the discussion on the switch expression RFC:

There's been a fundamental disagreement on what the switch expression
should actually be. Due to the conflicting feedback I no longer know
how to proceed. This is why I've
