Kotlin 'when' statement vs Java 'switch'

Question

Pattern matching in Kotlin is nice and the fact it does not execute the next pattern match is good in 90% of use cases.

In Android, when database is updated, we use J

What about Kotlin DSL for custom implementation? Something like this approach:

class SwitchTest {

    @Test
    fun switchTest() {

        switch {
            case(true) {
                println("case 1")
            }
            case(true) {
                println("case 2")
            }
            case(false) {
                println("case 3")
            }
            caseBreak(true) {
                println("case 4")
            }
            case(true) {
                println("case 5")
            }
//          default { //TODO implement
//
//          }
        }
    }
}

class Switch {
    private var wasBroken: Boolean = false

    fun case(condition: Boolean = false, block: () -> Unit) {
        if (wasBroken) return
        if (condition)
            block()
    }

    fun caseBreak(condition: Boolean = false, block: () -> Unit) {
        if (condition) {
            block()
            wasBroken = true
        }
    }
}

fun switch(block: Switch.() -> Unit): Switch {
    val switch = Switch()
    switch.block()
    return switch
}

It prints: case 1 case 2 case 4 UPD: Some refactorings and output example.
