A final proposal for Rust await syntax

For what it's worth, it seems that Rust isn't alone here. C# 8.0 introduced postfix `switch` expressions (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/do-more-with-patterns-...), which are along the same lines of what's suggested for `match` in Rust further along in the OP.

I agree that it looks strange at first. But I think I'll get used to it.

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea they implemented this for C# 8.0

Also is it just me or the switch pattern really is inspired by Rust match?

Pattern matching syntax across many languages is very similar, most notably inspired by ML I'd say.

Pattern matching as is in Rust has many notable precedents that IIRC the C# folks considered as prior art, not least of which being F#.
