Definitely looks nicer and probably works better than my older attempt [1], but uses 8x more code and depends on the awesome but kinda scary Metalang9 macro toolkit. I think libsum is a good intro if you want to see how algebraic data types work underneath.

I have a star on your repository, so it seems I was looking into it while designing Datatype99 :)
GH stars kinda function as a bookmark system, except I never go looking at what all I've starred, so it's more of an optimistic bookmark system.

I only sometimes use it as a "I would recommend this repo" -- how can one do that anyways, given that the repo could morph into something one would no longer recommend?
