Description

Is there an official doc for pattern matching?

I note that case in https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.7.2/doc/syntax/control_expressions_rdoc.html does not mention it, and in does not appear.

Funny.

Here: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/doc/syntax/control_expressions_rdoc.html#label-case+Expression we have

Since Ruby 2.7, case expressions also provide ....

I added the docs after the release of 2.7, unfortunately. Maybe ruby-doc.org doesn't refetch it for minor versions? It seems to correspond to https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.7.0/doc/syntax/control_expressions_rdoc.html#label-case+Expression

Arrgh, also I see that on docs.ruby-lang.org "[on its own page]" in the last phrase is NOT linked to https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/doc/syntax/pattern_matching_rdoc.html somehow :(

(As an aside note, I really believe Ruby needs some kind of "Documentation working group", the current state of things is errrrm sub-optimal.)

Ohh, glad to see it's there, not updated.

There have been many improvements by @burdettelamar (Burdette Lamar), we should definitely update the published doc as it is today.

Who has access to do that?

Who has access to do that?

If you mean access to ruby-doc.org, I believe it is one-person project. Last time I wanted something to be fixed there I've just contacted maintainer on Twitter: https://twitter.com/zverok/status/1210512556449763329 (responses are currently removed, but he answered quickly and fixed the problem).
