Partially unrelated to the meme, but I find it almost malicious how some python keywords are named differently from the nearly universal counterpart of other languagues.

This/self, continue/pass, except/catch and they couldn’t find a different word for switch so they just didn’t implement it.

It’s as if the original designers purposefully wanted to be different for the sake of it.

Python does have a switch statement now, actually. And yes, they went out of their way to call it something different - match.

docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#match…

match isn’t just equivalent to switch though, so in this case it actually makes sense to call it something different.
