I think your opinion on my advice is wrong. :-)

Keep in mind, the OP in question here was originally asking about how
to do a switch on string arguments. Someone that unfamiliar with the
basics of the language at this point is much better off getting
something working, then determining if it is in fact a bottleneck, or a
don't care to overall performance than trying to dive off into
something completely new to them when they have so much other ground to
cover at the same time.

I still think using a well documented library would be easier (even for
a beginner) than coding and debugging 100 if/else-if statements.

But I guess the whole thing is a tempest in a teapot and performance
won't matter either.
