The static type of this type is dynamic - Anders Hejlsberg (Nostalgic C# 4 days)

I'm giving this workshop at Scala Days, which will cover most of the techniques I've learned over the last 15 years of building software in typed FP.

Happy to answer any questions about the workshop (which will draw from the book I'm writing: scalawithcats.com)

Would love something more colorful 😁

It was sorta trick question. This came up in a chit chat in my circles.

Personally, I would prefer to learn Rust first over Kotlin (next).
