Roslyn has visitor pattern combined with the 'Kind' enumeration you mentioned. You can either choose to visiti a SyntaxNode of a certain type, or override the generic version and decide what you want to do based on that enumeration.

C# doesnt have exhaustive switch over enums.

It needs to get "closed enum" lang. feature.

[torginus]

Exhaustive enums (or type switches) are not a requirement, and are infact harmful - imagine if they add a new kind of syntax node to the language, now your analyzer no longer compiles unless you add a default case - which is very easy to add in C# as well.

[high_na_euv]

Unless you add default... or handle such case, as expected.

Ofc you can use this feature wrong and abuse default case, but in general this is very good since it prevents you about missing places to add handling and screams at you at comp time instead of runtimr
