::
is a (non-empty) List
. It is not an extractor for arbitrary Seq
.
scala> List(42, 27) match { case x :: xs => x }
^
warning: match may not be exhaustive.
It would fail on the following input: Nil
val res0: Int = 42
scala> Vector(42, 27) match { case x :: xs => x }
^
error: constructor cannot be instantiated to expected type;
found : scala.collection.immutable.::[A]
required: scala.collection.immutable.Vector[Int]
scala> (Vector(42, 27): Seq[Int]) match { case x :: xs => x }
scala.MatchError: Vector(42, 27) (of class scala.collection.immutable.Vector1)

Whatever you decide its okay for me. Most probably its just a minor issue but it took me a while to figure it out.
For me it just seems to break this promise of functional programming to easily reason about functions by just inspecting their code. The headOfSeqOrZero function in my example looks not too suspect for me. Just this parameter type of Seq which provides the :: operator. Either the input contains at least one element then the head of the seq is returned otherwise it just yields 0. But for some sequences head is returned for others not, just dependent on the creation of the seq.
It looks somehow effectful to me. Give it a seq 1, 2, 3 it returns 1. Give it another seq 1, 2, 3 it returns 0. Hmm.
"seq from unsafe wrapped array fails to deconstruct in head and tail" in:
def headOfSeqOrZero(seq: Seq[Int]): Int =
seq match
case head :: tail =>
head
case _ =>
0
//success
headOfSeqOrZero(Seq(1, 2, 3)) should be (1)
//failure
import scala.collection.immutable.ArraySeq
headOfSeqOrZero(ArraySeq.unsafeWrapArray(Array(1, 2, 3))) should be (1)

There is an extractor for Seq
.
scala> Vector(42, 27) match { case x +: xs => x }
^
warning: match may not be exhaustive.
It would fail on the following inputs: Vector0, Vector1(), Vector2(), Vector3(), Vector4(), Vector5(), Vector6()
val res0: Int = 42
Just this parameter type of Seq which provides the :: operator.
This is your misunderstanding.
There are different flavors of patterns when pattern matching. It happens that ::
is "just a case class", but +:
is an "extractor".
Your match is really seq match case _: List =>
or more precisely case _: :: =>
. One case is for list, the other for other seqs.
This would be a fruitful discussion on the discord chat or the discourse forum. They have people who are great at explaining things. https://scala-lang.org/community/ has links.
