Explore advanced Scala type system concepts in this 50-minute conference talk from Scala Days New York 2018. Learn how to leverage type parameters, variants, and implicit companions to create robust geospatial data models. Discover techniques for runtime CRS checking, type-safe coordinate representations, and efficient data processing using case classes and type tags. Gain insights into implementing rich features and type index maps for improved code safety and maintainability in Scala projects.
