I like rust matching for this reason: You need to cover all branches.
In fact, not using a default (the else clause equivalent) is ideal if you can explicitly cover all cases, because then if the possibilities expand (say a new value in an enum) you’ll be annoyed by the compiler to cover the new case, which might otherwise slip by.
