Re:Implement with Types, Not Your Brain by Twisol on Tuesday June 25, 2019 @09:16PM (#20281021)
Types don’t exist at runtime in the way you’re describing. It isn’t possible to express a program that asks what type a value has.

Dynamic types are sometimes called “tags” to distinguish the case in which this information _does_ exist at runtime.
