+# Pattern Match Values From A Hash
+
+As of Ruby 3.0.0, the _rightward assignment_ operator (`=>`) was introduced as
+another syntax for assigning values to variables. With it comes an experimental
+pattern matching capability. This pattern matching can be used with hashes to
+extract keyed values into local variables.
+
+Pattern matching with rightward assignment can be done by placing a hash on the
+left-hand side of the `=>` operator and then placing a hash-like listing of
+keys to be matched against.
+
+```ruby
+> some_hash = { name: "Josh", handle: "@jbrancha", age: :unknown }
+=> {:name=>"Josh", :handle=>"@jbrancha", :age=>:unknown}
+> some_hash => {name:, handle:}
+(irb):3: warning: One-line pattern matching is experimental, and the behavior may change in future versions of Ruby!
+=> nil
+> name
+=> "Josh"
+> handle
+=> "@jbrancha"
+```
+
+This example extracts `name` and `handle` as local variables assigned with the
+values of the those keys from the hash.
+
+Note that this feature is _experimental_.
+
+Also note that referencing a key that doesn't exist in a pattern matching
+statement will raise a `NoMatchingPatternError`.
