> pattern matching against static types is cool, but, compared to pattern matching directly against data, Clojure-style, is even cooler

Maybe it's cool, but I think static types can be "cool" too. When you take the fashion statement out of the question, what are you left with? One is polymorphism at runtime and the other is at compile time. I'll take the compile time one.
