The Swift Programming Language
Swift has also pattern matching which I think is really awesome.

You can see the pattern matching inspiration was from Clojure:

This is its greatest feature if you ask me... Imperative, classical OO language WITH pattern matching. It's a crazy world we live in.

Yes. They even have ranges in the patterns inside tuples. Not sure if any other language has that particular syntax.

F# has that. And also allows you to define your own constructors to pattern match on anything you want.
