Interesting that he didn't mention Prolog... Prolog's pattern matching is one of the reasons why I still look favorably at the language as a whole.

well yeah.

actually I noticed scala has pattern matching as a first class control construct. Its pretty amazing. Just right there in the language (which is not surprising, given the functional influence in it).
