Edit Question
Title
Body
I've got to the stage where I've written quite a bit of Erlang code now, and I can see some style (bad or good) creeping into the way I've been writing it. This particular idiom I'd like some opinion on - is it better (more readable/faster/whatever) to convert case style statements to function pattern matching? E.g. Compare (a contrived example) case {Size > 100000, Type} of {true, ets } -> %% Do something to convert to dets something; {false, dets} -> %% do something to convert to ets somethingelse; _ -> ignoreit end; with ... maybeChangeStorage(Size, Type) ... maybeChangeStorage(Size, ets) when Size > 10000 -> something; maybeChangeStorage(Size, dets) when Size < 10000 -> somethingelse; maybeChangeStorage(_,_) -> ignoreit. I prefer the latter in most cases but I'd be interested in other opinion.
