I started really getting into Scala types 10 years ago and discovered that in certain edge cases I was spending more time (and complexity) writing the types than on code. Sooner or later the effort invested in your types can be too much

A fancy type in this case was one which did not allow any data which did not conform completely to a specification that varied according to other data in connected structures
