Goodbye if-else, Hello Pattern Matching in JavaScript (PROPOSAL)

JavaScript is evolving with the proposal of pattern matching, which aims to replace if-else statements with a more declarative syntax. Pattern matching allows for matching against the shape and contents of a value in a single expression, providing a more concise alternative to chained if-else statements and switch cases. It can match literals, variables, objects, and types, and offers advantages such as a more declarative syntax, the ability to match full objects, and the automatic handling of default cases. Pattern matching is currently a Stage 1 ECMAScript proposal and can be compiled to supported JavaScript using Babel.
