A very interesting article on how LLMs might actually work. I am sceptic about the overextension of the work to cognitive sciences but the authors make a good point. I wonder what the actual cognitive scientists might say.

🎩✨ Behold, the mystical wonders of pattern matching! Apparently, it's so "unreasonably effective" that they needed a whole paper to tell us what we've known since the dawn of #regex. 🤦♂️ Thanks, Simons Foundation, for funding this groundbreaking revelation! 🥳📚

Match Statement vs Match Expression: Pattern Matching War
Python 3.10 vs PHP 8 match - both new, both powerful! Which language nailed pattern matching? This will spark debate!

I think this tool can do graphical #PatternMatching, click on things, and process scripts(with loops and tests), right?

Still coupling logic and data in your #Java code? #DataOrientedProgramming with records and #PatternMatching lets you model valid states cleanly and move logic out of your types.

🚀 **Pattern Matching em Python: Diga adeus às árvores de if/elif verbosos!** 💻
Acabei de publicar um guia técnico completo sobre o **match/case** do Python 3.10+: destructuring de listas, dicts, classes, guards e como ele **aniquila** o switch case tradicional de C/Java. Exemplos práticos para APIs REST, eventos JSON e full-stack!
Por que usar?
- Código 50-70% mais limpo
- Sem fallthrough bugs
- Poder estrutural nativo

Wer mit Java arbeitet, kennt den Operator instanceof wahrscheinlich schon länger. Er wird genutzt, um zu prüfen, ob ein Objekt einer bestimmten Klasse oder einem bestimmten Typ entspricht. Doch seit Java 16 gibt es eine deutliche Verbesserung: Pattern Matching für instanceof. Diese Neuerung sorgt

Following a discussion on hacker news I have found myself wondering about regular expressions in ruby 1.9.
In this major version ruby switched its regex engine to oniguruma (and, since a few days ago to a fork of it called Onigmo ).
This engine is widely more powerful than the […]

LIKE 'test_%' Matches WHAT?!
LIKE with underscore matches ANY single character! 'test_%' matches 'test1', 'testA', 'test_'. This breaks pattern matching! Watch!

Even if you’ve read the JEPs—have you used #RecordPatterns to refactor old-school branching logic? @manojnp shows how to turn bloated instanceof trees into readable, idiomatic #Java code with just records.

Complex expressions buried in nested code? #Java’s sealed types + #PatternMatching make business logic more readable & testable. @BalaRawool walks through a real-world example.
Read his #JAVAPRO article: https://javapro.io/2025/11/11/writing-readable-code-with-algebraic-data-types-and-pattern-matching-in-java/
How do you make #Java code more readable and robust? With Algebraic Data Types (records + sealed types) and #PatternMatching, you can encode valid state and simplify logic—without extra libraries.

The term #PatternMatching in #FP means using the structure of the ADTs to dissect (analyse) a data structure into its constituent components (referrered to as "selection" in #TypeTheory).
If we consider #DataStructures to be “alive” at runtime, then pattern matching is not a "dissection", but a "vivisection", of data.
