Scala has a powerful type system that allows many properties of a program to be verified at compile-time. Do you still think of types as Int, String and Object? Types like ""Fold[Nat, ({ type L[X <: HList, Z <: Nat] = Succ[Z] })#L, Nat._0]"" are only a small step away. You can have the compiler perform computations on natural numbers, enforce the sizes of collections and always get the correct element type out of a heterogeneous list. All of that happens at compile-time without impacting the runtime performance of your code.

This introduction to type-level programming will show you a step-by-step translation from value-level computations to type-level computations. You will learn what mechanisms you can use to structure your code and what limits Scala puts on the expressiveness of types.

The talk is based on my type-level experiments in github.
