Switch statements cause compile errors about kaffeine HOT 7 OPEN

ideally I'd like to keep compatibility with Javascript. Perhaps there's
another way ?

And when this is fixed, it would also be nice if break statements
aren't required. They're silly. I would like something like:

switch foo {
 case :bar:
   aha()
 case :batz:
   doSomething()
   fallthrough
 default
   bar()
}

Just an idea.

There's always the ruby way. That's the best variation of the switch I've used.

// this is only ruby-ish
case thing {
  when 'rock', 'roll'
    rockNRoll()
  else
    goHome()
    beSad()
}

Then if you really need to use the fallthrough capability, you can just write your switch in pure js.

how about

switch thing
 when 'rock', 'roll':
   rockNRoll()
 else:
   beSad()

? do we want/need the colons ?

Yeah, I actually kind of like the colons. It's a little more javascripty, and they help me a bit visually.

yeah agreed.

maybe we don't need the else as it doesn't add anything beyond 'default' ?

True. default would be better in this context.

ok so :

switch thing {
 when 'rock', 'roll':
   rockNRoll()
 when 'jazz':
    jazz()
 default:
   beSad()
}

which is converted to :

switch(thing) {
 case 'rock':
   rockNRoll(); break; case 'roll': rockNRoll(); break;
 case 'jazz':
   jazz(); break;
 default:
   beSad()
}
