        @chadfowler as always with Scala: implementing frameworks is miserable. In return your users can write nice clean code, yet safe and fast.

        @chadfowler on the one side, Java and the JVM. On the other, Ruby-like user code. No interpreters allowed. So: horrors lie in the middle.

        @avibryant Could that be an indication that DispatchedLearner is doing too much? Would it make any sense to break it out into más classes?

        @ryanlecompte yeah, that seems likely but it's not entirely clear to me how. Pull requests to Brushfire very much welcomed :)

        @avibryant looks like a combinator on a kind of Either3. You could possibly simplify by doing two applications of Normal Either? Too slow?

        Replying to @posco

        @posco yes, that's exactly what it is. I'm not worried about the performance of Either[Either[A,B],C], just about being awkward to use.

        @avibryant why do people name variables intelligently then use the least descriptive names for types? :(

        @jco @avibryant because people who use lots of types like that, where it isn't obvious what they mean, are from the math side of CS.

        @sampullara @jco to be clear, that's my code, and although I hate how opaque it is, it seems to me to be idiomatic scala. Suggestions?

        @avibryant @jco it is idiomatic scala. or even Java. most of the generic type stuff comes from category theory. in math, vars are 1 letter.

        @avibryant @jco naming them well can be even more confusing since you then can't tell they are generic types rather than real ones.

        @sampullara @avibryant @jco The best part is where we go next with further type specialization. Just repeat the letter - AA <:< A, BB <%< B

        @softprops @sampullara @avibryant I know it's idiomatic but I don't know. A type called "A" seems like a bad idiom. Hm.

        @jco @softprops @sampullara @avibryant I took the habit of using more descriptive names (but still short) and keeping them all caps.
