Poor Stephan, got so much bashed for the great article. I don't know why the people are so enduring and rather live with bad, unreadable and unmaintanable code that enjoy the benefits of OO and static typing. Then you would rather implement the constraints in the type class or have them as annotations at the type class. Perhaps it is also enough to have just an interface for the type and do the rest with constraint annotations on the interface? With type safe object you also have a much easier life when it comes to discriminating, sorting, formatting these value objects.
