Recently got turned onto ts-pattern. It's a pattern matching library, and it's _really_ nice for doing inline conditional rendering in React code. Ngl, I would mostly use IIFEs before this. Sorry not sorry. But hey, I have a better alternative now.

Yeah, they're definitely similar, but pattern matching is more flexible since you only need to match a part of the target.

I had the repo started, this looks interesting. Is this kind of like switch, case?

Curious to get your thoughts on it! For me, pattern matching felt super natural right way. I definitely prefer the interface of this library over the syntax that's being proposed over here: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching

Not gonna complain when we get pattern matching as a core JS feature, though.

"sorry, not sorry" - that's a great expression (adding to toolbox).

Super interesting library, checking it out now - thanks Dan.
