Partial filmography
As screenwriter, unless otherwise indicated.
gollark: ```javascriptconst printNumber = n => { switch(n) { case 0: return "zero"; //break; case 1: return "one"; //break; case 2: return "two"; //break; case 3: return "three"; //break; default: return "many"; }}```That's much longer, and uglier, especially with the breaks (not needed in this example, but generally will be).
gollark: ```fsharplet printNumber n = match n with | 0 -> "zero" | 1 -> "one" | 2 -> "two" | 3 -> "three" | _ -> "many"```
gollark: I could provide a more complicated example, but discord is bad for that.
gollark: See? It's ugly! Mutable variables; that break nonsense; the curly brackets.
gollark: i.e.```fsharplet potato = 5let isFive = match potato with | 5 -> true | _ -> false```is nicer than the equivalent nonsense of```javascriptconst potato = 5;let isFive;switch (potato) {case 5: isFive = true; break:default: isFive = false;}```
