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.
