They have its valid use to avoid situations like this: | if cond1 && cond2 { | if cond1 { | do_stuff() | } | do_other_stuff() | } which can be rewritten like | switch { | case cond1: | do_stuff() | fallthrough | case cond2: | do_other_stuff() | } It's not quite visible due to cond* being short, but not so when they involve comparisons against longish symbols exported from packages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
