...For example, match is a keyword. If you try to compile the following function that uses match as its name:
Filename: src/main.rs
fn match(needle: &str, haystack: &str) -> bool {
haystack.contains(needle)
}
you’ll get this error:
error: expected identifier, found keyword `match`

...Understanding wildcards
Wildcard pattern matching allows users to employ an asterisk (*) in a string to match certain patterns. For example, a single pattern like https://example.com/*/t*st can cover multiple URLs such as https://example.com/en/test, https://example.com/images/toast, and https://example.com/blog...
...Specifically,
the syntax
```rust
['ident:] while let PAT = EXPR {
BODY
}
```
desugars to
```rust
['ident:] loop {
match EXPR {
PAT => BODY,
_ => break
}
}
```
Just as with `if let`, an irrefutable pattern given to `while let` is considered an error. This is
largely an artifact of the fact that the desugared `match` ends up...
...This is a counterpart to if let expressions, and the pattern matching works identically, except that the value from the pattern match
is assigned to the surrounding scope rather than the block’s scope.

Introduction
One of the things that stands out to me is how similar match and if..else
are semantically, while being diverging a fair bit syntactically. The reasons for that seem mostly accidental, and I have a sneaking suspicion...

y/re/ between each match of re, run the expressions that follow
g/re/ if re matches, run the expressions that follow

...As in a match expression, => indicates matching a pattern (in this case ()) to a body (in this case println!(...);). Since our use of the macro matches the single pattern (hello!() has no arguments), we expand into the given body.
The next example has some arguments, but still a single rule...

Consider this code for talking to a secondary processor:

pub enum SecondaryProcessor {
Opening(String),
Ready,
Writing(String),
Reading(String),
Closing,
}

...a `match` statement takes one expression and applies multiple patterns to it until one matches,
while let-else-else-chains would take one pattern and apply it to multiple expressions until one matches.
This has a complexity issue with or-patterns, where expressions can _easily_ become exponential.

## Summary
Rust's support for pattern matching on slices has grown steadily and incrementally without a lot of oversight.
We have concern that Rust is doing too much here, and that the complexity is not worth it. This RFC proposes
to feature gate multiple-element slice matches in the head...
...MyFood = serde_json::from_str(&json).unwrap();
// Does not work because no enum variant matches "tacos"
// Error returned is: Error("data did not match any variant of untagged enum MyFood")c

{
"fruit_count": 5,
"foo": 3
}
)
.to_string();

}

Enums and Pattern Matching
In this chapter, we’ll look at enumerations, also referred to as enums. Enums allow you to define a type by enumerating its possible variants. First we’ll define and use an enum to show how an enum can encode meaning along with data. Next, we...

which resolves a single best match. which_all yields every match in precedence order. That helps when a name is shadowed by more than one install. A name that is not on the PATH comes back as an Error. A...

## Summary
Change syntax of subslices matching from `..xs` to `xs..`
to be more consistent with the rest of the language
and allow future backwards compatible improvements.
Small example:
```rust
match slice {
[xs.., _] => xs,
[] => fail!()
}
```
