Different types in Map Scala

Question

I need a Map where I put different types of values (Double, String, Int,...) in it, key can be String.

Is there a way to do this, so that I get the correct type with

Answer 1

(a) Scala containers don't track type information for what's placed inside them, and

(b) the return "type" for an apply/get method with a simple String parameter/key is going to be static for a given instance of the object the method is to be applied to.

This feels very much like a design decision that needs to be rethought.
