Any time you need to add an abstract feature to the event architecture, the compiler would tell you what other part of the app broke as a result. I disagree. Most type systems, especially those describing data, are really only good for checking syntactic consistency and not very good at semantic consistency. That is, it can tell if field changes from an Int to a String, but not if the content of a String field changes it's semantic, i.e. from a user id to an email address. Lack of ability to validate content pervades wire-appropriate encodings.
