A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I've got a problem statement where it would be really helpful to be able to match on about 4 variables (incoming states from different subsystems, and a requested state, and possibly even previous states), are there some compiler plugins / good workarounds for that?

Without pattern matching there's no easy workaround. You either do nested `when`  clauses, or a pattern like visitor or strategy.

Oh, nice, so it creates one Triple per branch to check :smile: It's an approach I'd never seen, and that's a lot to say.
