Not features. Benefits.

Benefits show an increase in something good or a decrease in something bad.

Better speed. Less code. Easier distribution. Lower cost.

A lot of the benefits are hard to express in numbers, and I am not a marketing person.

Does this particular kind of type system help you in your software engineering? Very hard to quantify, and depends on circumstances and even personal preference.

I don't think I have any hard-number benefits that are meaningful.
