To clarify, these tagged unions are fundamentally different from the untagged unions that can be found in languages like Typescript or Scala 3.
Tagged unions (also called "discriminated unions" or "sum types") are algebraic data types. They act as wrappers, via special constructors, for two (or more) disjoint types and values. So a tagged union acts like a bag that has two (or more) labelled ("tagged") slots, where each slot has exactly one type and exactly one of these slot can take a value.
Untagged unions are set theoretic (rather than algebraic) data types. They don't require wrapping via a special constructor. They behave like the logical OR. They are not disjoint slots of a separate construct. A variable or function x with the type "Foo | Bar" can be of type Foo, or Bar, or both. To access a Foo method on x, one has to first perform a typecheck for Foo, otherwise the compiler will refuse the method call (since x might only have the type Bar which would produce an exception). If a variable is of type A, it is also of type A|B ("A or B"). There are also intersection types (A&B) which indicate that something has both types rather than at least one, and complement/negation types (~A indicates that something is of any type except A). Though the latter are not implemented in any major language so far.
Come on Gophers! It's time.
Not entirely convinced that I see the usecase that makes up for the potential madness.
