 Scalable grammar
 Hello Domain Specific Languages (DSL)
 Inexhaustible language for every day

 Ability of language to handle data of different types in the same way.
 Provision of a single interface to entities of different types.
 Particular code is able to handle data of different types.
 Way to change code behavior via input parameters without direct
modification (respecting Open-Closed Principle)

 Shapeless library allows to avoid this limitation
 Polymorphic functions allow to process heterogeneous collections (HLists)
