I can only agree. Compared to other languages I find Python increasingly difficult to reason about, mainly due to its dynamicity. If the language complexity increases as well from now on I don't think I will use Python unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, Julia supports pattern matching due to macros: https://github.com/kmsquire/Match.jl

Unfortunately Match.jl has gone unmaintained for a while, but we do have MLStyle.jl

Some of the english documentation can be quite hard to read, but the code is very useful. Submitting PRs to improve the documentation is welcomed by maintainers.
