functions

A function takes an argument and returns some data:

func := input -> input + 2
3.func.println // 5
(list, 0).get // first element
(val, match -> match.println, [] -> "doesn't match".println).match

switch

switch <val> {
    <type> <func>
}

switch something {
    int num -> {"int: " + num}.println
    float num -> {"float: " + num}.println
}
