[Proposal] Enums and matching #10

Closed alshdavid closed 1 year ago

alshdavid commented 3 years ago

TypeScript has enums with assignable values. In this context how would we support Rust-like enum matching capabilities

enum Foo {
  A = 'A',
  B = 'B',
}

On a topic related to enums and matching, I think there is a possibility to improve on how algebraic data types work in BorrowScript compared to TypeScript, please see https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/36336.

The suggested syntax looks very much not like JS, and what's the difference between this and mix-ins/inheritance?
