Just wanted to say that I think union and intersection types are very interesting and powerful. Also agreed on the fact that Tuple22 and friends are not ideal. We are looking for ways to avoid that in a future version of Scala. I am certainly very interested in what you and the Ceylon community do in terms of language design and hope we can learn from each other.

Cheers, Martin, thanks for the note, I appreciate it! Well, there's already a couple of things we learned from you guys: FTR, Scala was the first place I ever saw declaration-site variance, which rocks. It's also the language that influenced me and the others to take type inference seriously. Definitely hope it's a two-way street :-)
