break statements in a switch case is horrible syntax. By using

Wouldn't the program just display every case below it without the break, though?

>>57826908
That's my point. Get rid of the fucking break and have the default be you only execute that case, and have a different statement if you want it to fall through

What you are looking for OP is called 'pattern matching': https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/patterns.html

pls explain am retard

>>57826881
you're trying to argue logical semantics OP. settle down you fucking faggot

>>57826881
>it's implied you want each case separately.

No it isn't.

Very often you want the same behavior for several cases.

switch(weekday) {
case 'saturday':
case 'sunday':
return 'It\'s weekend, time to shitpost!'
break;
default:
return 'More work :('
break.
}

IMHO the syntax isn't very thought out. In 90% of the cases you want to check only a single case and not many. The multiple case syntax could also have been using a separator for different cases e.g. a comma. This would allow matching multiple cases and would not make the single match case verbose with the need of multiple break statements.

If this thread is supposed to be bait, you're not doing a very good job of it, OP, that opinion is hardly controversial.

We're just stuck with the thing we're stuck with in the languages we're using. Some languages do it opt-in, some do it opt-out. No big deal either way.

Google performed a mass code study and found that break was used in ~95%+ of switch cases.

So, Go does break by default.
To fallthrough, you can either explicitly use the "fallthrough" keyword, or supply multiple values in case (e.g. `case "Saturday", "Sunday": ...`)

I love it when new programmers try to act like they know shit.

Why not use break statements?
>it's horrible syntax
How does your second sentence support this claim? Oh right, it doesn't. You are just mashing shit on your stupid keyboard and hoping that someone will agree.

He read it in a book and now he thinks he knows shit.
