I heard you like making Illegal States Unrepresentable. What about making Non-exhaustive Pattern Matching Unrepresentable in the AST? That and more in my Scala.IO talk this Thursday.

Slides from my Scala.IO talk Repurposing Scala's Pattern Matching for Deeply Embedded DSLs are now available: continuously.dev/presentations/…

A new (this time successful) recording by Functional World is now available: youtube.com/watch?v=YZZtca…
