Doesn't seem to support matching variables like Scala, is that intentional?

[lotcher]

In Scala, we can match as follows

scala> val a = 1
scala> 2 match {
      case a => 1
      case 2 => 2
  }
>>> 2

But does Match only support literal matching? Or is it the bad way I use it

julia> @match 2 begin
           a => 1
           2 => 2
           end
>>>1

What should I do when I want to match a variable on the type? Thank you for your help

a is a pattern that matches anything and binds it to a variable named a. @match doesn't support general expressions, but when we integrate Rematch2.jl to be the newest version of this package, you will be able to write this:

julia> const a = 1
1

julia> @match 2 begin
         $a => 1
         2 => 2
       end
2
