I'm dogfooding difftastic and I'm always pleasantly surprised when it works. Here's a nice example from optimisation today: I've removed an outer if statement. Note that it's lined up line 47 on the left with line 41 on the right, even though they have different indentation.

Are there any languages that have both pattern matching and statement oriented syntax? In principle these are orthogonal, but I'm struggling to think of a language with pattern matching that isn't expression oriented.

Are there any advantages to having a statement/expression separate in a new programming language? I understand that it makes sense for existing languages, but "everything is an expression" seems to be increasingly popular.

My toy programming language has a pluggable frontend, so you can change syntax easily. The first syntax I built was lispy. I've gradually been adding statement oriented C-ish syntax. I think it would awkward to write a statement oriented lispy syntax. Do any such PLs exist?
