Am I crazy for almost exclusively just using type and sum types and no generics or interfaces and somehow being able to express everything I need to express?

Kind of wondering what I'm missing now.

Hmm, you can do pretty nice things with generics to make some things impossible (or at least fail on compile), but I agree it’s hardly readable. In some cases you need that though.
