If you like if statements, you'll love the python case statements for pattern matching

    Ohhh nice! I could see replacing dozens of nested if statements with dozens of nested case statements!

    Also don't nest case statements. Please.

    I remember one of the hardest transitions for me from scripting in Ruby to Python was the whitespace indent was larger by default in Python. With Python, I ran out of monitor width and would have to be constantly scrolling right and left when visually parsing the code because the nested loops were so deep.
