Changlin Li demonstrates how to leverage Scala's type system to guarantee correctness at compile time instead of relying on defensive runtime checks.
Guidelines for Practical Correctness Through Type Signatures: I'll talk about easy, approachable rules of thumb to leverage Scala's type system to improve correctness which can be used in almost any codebase, without enough implicits to make your head (and compiler) explode. Slides can be found here: github.com/changlinli/types_presentation_slides/blob/v0.2.0/… And the gist: gist.github.com/changlinli/b4dee7273cae1de4f6b262afe0eb6ca7Why it's here
