I am once again asking for a standardized SealedMap implementation like an EnumMap

[Michael de Kaste]

my string reducer returns either an illegal class(with the character that was illegal) or an incomplete class(with the list thats left after reducing it)

sealed interface Type{
    @JvmInline value class Incomplete(val list: List<Char>) : Type
    @JvmInline value class Illegal(val char: Char) : Type
}

My function returns this Type. Now for part one, I'd want the illegal parts of this list, and for part two I want the incomplete parts. My assumption is that you can just map it to a map, and because sealed classes have known subclasses, you should just be able to do map[Illegal] or map[Incomplete]. But now I have to do that, but still filter the instances of the values to the correct types

[Paul Woitaschek]

Wait that really compiles? Having value classes as subclasses of sealed interfaces? Uff

[Michael de Kaste]

Yeah why wouldn't it? You can have anything that inherents interfaces as subclasses of a sealed interface

just look at stdlib, UIntArray implements Collection<UInt>
