Scala lets you spend lots of time typing incomprehensible type signatures and gives you less type safety than ML-family languages in exchange. Truly it is the pinnacle of PL design!


Yeah, I hate those incomprehensible type signatures. Just give me an Object and I'll match with the type I need.


I certainly hope you don't give me an Object. That would mean I still haven't escaped the JVM! Just give me HM and I can write type safe code without typing types.


I have a better idea! Let's just use strings for everything!


thanks for the chuckle
