Examples

Basic switch

let value = 2

switch value
    case 1
        print "one"
        break

    case 2
        print "two"
        break

    default
        print "other"

Multiple case labels

let value = 2

switch value
    case 1
    case 2
    case 3
        print "one, two or three"
        break

    default
        print "other"

Expressions in case

let value = 10

switch value
    case 5 + 5
        print "expression works"
        break

    default
        print "no match"

Improvements

1. Improved indentation handling for switch statements.
2. Enhanced compiler support for JavaScript control flow constructs.
3. Continued focus on keeping Humal syntax close to JavaScript while using indentation instead of block punctuation.
4. Improved the VS Code extension: the global Humal Dark theme was removed, and syntax handling was enhanced.
