Pattern Matching vs Destructuring?

Isn't the example given of pattern matching actually destructuring? Does Elixir support conditional-kind pattern matching?

Proposed merge with Reia (programming language)

Dgpop proposed the merge, but didn't give any rationale towards why he wanted the merge in the first place. My guesses is that it's a WP:PERMASTUB, and it appears to be a "spiritual successor" to Reia (programming_language)^[1] AtlasDuane (talk) 11:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reia was a stepping stone to Elixir, not a language that saw much use on its own or was even fully completed. It was discontinued in favor of Elixir. Reia does not appear to meet WP:GNG, but is interesting historically. Dgpop (talk) 14:40, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I vote yes to merge. Why not just copy the whole stub into the Elixir page as part of it's history? I could try doing it but I've never done that before. 09:32, 13 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephenpratt (talk • contribs)

Should I take it up with WP:PROD? AtlasDuane (talk) 15:49, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
