Pattern matching has grown far beyond switch and case statements. From type checks to recursive patterns and list matching, modern C# gives you expressive tools to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
Exception filters make error handling in C# cleaner and more expressive. They let you catch only what you care about without cluttering your code with nested logic or rethrows.
