Swift is a lot like Scala

Don't bother, people will just say X is better than Scala here. They don't know the amount of research done by Odersky on generics and why Scala can not be easily beaten in this area at least.

Scala can't be easily beaten there? Man...have you used C#?

I mean, I use Scala every day, but C# gives you so much solely on reification and Scala manifests are a real poor patch.

Holy shit you have got to be joking. Really trolling now, are we? Take a look at things like Shapeless (https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless).

I've used Shapeless. It doesn't affect my actually writing code on a daily basis. Reified generics do.
