Got hands-on with algebraic data types for the first time ever while studying F# today. I can see the draw, but I don't really give a shit. Why? Cus 99% of the classes I'm going to work with on a daily basis are still gonna be

DatabaseReadWriteBaseImplementation2 {
sequentialIntegerID: string
}

You‘d think so because you aren’t used to thinking in that way. Once you get used to algebraic types, you will see more and more places where they can be applied and make more sense than the usual types.

After a decade of Swift, I wouldn’t want to go back to something like C# and one of the major reasons is that I don’t want to work without algebraic types anymore.
