@baweaver there’s no date. Is this before or after ruby added pattern matching?

@Schneems @baweaver Without clicking through I would have assumed it was before, since Brandon and I were two of the first people to look into what pattern matching in Ruby could actually look like (though Brandon's approach was far more in-depth and flexible), but some of the links in the doc (especially "pre-requisite reading") seem to indicate after.

@jamie @Schneems It was probably around January 2021, after it got merged. The pre merge writings were mostly on the Ruby bug tracker.

@jamie @Schneems Updated it to include date, and finally moved the poor thing out of "draft"

@baweaver Any chance you can export this to PDF and hosted it on your own website or on Github.

I usually have a feeling about shared Google Docs that are temporary and for example this document is a great example why pattern matching is a great feature and how it can be used.

@lucian I'll port it to Markdown and put it on the blog some time this week. Feel free to whack me if I forget.
