fun parse_expr(tokens: Vec<Token>) -> Result<Expr, ParseError> {
    match tokens.first() {
        Some(Token::Number(n)) => Ok(Expr::Literal(*n)),
        Some(Token::Ident(name)) => Ok(Expr::Variable(name.clone())),
        _ => Err(ParseError::UnexpectedToken)
    }
}

// Functional programming with pipeline operator  
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  |> numbers.map(|x| x * 2)
  |> numbers.filter(|x| x > 5)
  |> numbers.sum()

// Pattern matching with guards
match user_input {
    n if n > 0 => "positive",
    0 => "zero",
    1..=10 => "small range",
    _ => "other"
