I'm not familiar with the JS proposal process. Is this likely to become an official feature now that it's been proposed? If so what's the usual timeline of that look like? I would love to have this feature ASAP in the browser and/or Node.js and am eager to find out when that will be possible.
Could someone please explain what this could be used for ?
I think the HTTP response is a great example. It can have many status codes which can determine how you want to proceed with that response. If you've worked with handling HTTP responses, you've most likely implemented some version of a 'match' operation before.
Pattern matching seems to be very trendy/popular right now. It's a big jump from JS, but https://reasonml.github.io has very nice pattern matching that you can use, and it integrates with the JS ecosystem very nicely.

Someone will surely do a Babel plugin to use the syntax allowing you to try it before it becomes an official feature.
I should note, this isn't my proposal. Just found it interesting enough to share

In terms of chances of standardization, that's a step up from "Hey, I have a great idea", buy there are plenty of Stage 0 proposals that go nowhere because they lose steam.
I think the metric they look for is who is using the Babel plugin for it. If people are doing that, then they it has a better shot of progressing.
Stage 4 is the "this is getting standardized next time" stage

It's been "trendy" since the 70's. It's more that more people have experience with it and realize that pattern matching is like conditional statements on steroids.

Smooshes the evaluation of an object that can be many different shapes into an easy to understand operation. I think the HTTP response is a great example.
