  1. it has nothing to do with inheritcance. At least the Haskell one. Its just syntax feature and you can unwrap really deep into a nested data type using pattern matching in haskell. for example if you have: data NestedType = Constructr1 Maybe (Maybe Int) you can do: func : : NestedType -> Int func (Constructor1 (Just (Just 3))) = 3 * 3 pretty expressive.

  2. yeah he's underselling haskell here

  3. Pattern matching is just a monster-level feature-rich switch case. You can deeply pattern match on a value. Makes for very expressive coding.
