I read somewhere that Pattern Matching like that supported by the match/case feature in Scala was actually borrowed from Logic languages like Prolog.

Can you use Scala to elegantly solve problems like the Connected Graph problem? e.g. https://www.csupomona.edu/~jrfisher/www/prolog_tutorial/2_15.html

So I was wondering… >>> More
