oantolin, 29 days ago @brokenix Don't people model data with sum types and product types used in roughly equal measures? Is it really mostly sums? That sounds off to me.

boarders, 29 days ago @oantolin @brokenix they are not meaning sum types as opposed to product types but just commenting on how most languages don’t have sum types so you have to use some other way to encode data with tags or class hierarchies or etc.
