Thank you for sharing. Interesting insight on dep libraries.


I just hope they won't destroy sagas like they did to the Witcher. In other words, I don't think this is good for future content as there is a risk movies/series will follow the same scripts, underlying story plots, cultural norms, same cinematography, etc. Quality going down.

Moreover, this also means more time for ads to pay for this merger.


Nice feedback. I still love Scala write Scala 2 code mainly because of Spark. I wish I could migrate everything to Scala 3.


I don't think it is a problem with Scala 3 itself. Scala 3 brought a lot of improvements, one of them is using semantic versioning. People used to complain a log about binary compatibility between versions in 2.x. Now it's here. I think that the slow adoption of Scala 3 is mainly due to one of its most successful projects: Apache Spark. To this day, Spark only supports Scala 2.13 although Scala 3 has been around for years now. This is both disappointing and frustrating because a lot of people were introduced to Scala thanks to Apache Spark.


The language is actually really nice. The "we won't ship dotty as the next version of Scala, just kidding, here it is", the breakage of editors and IDEs that lasted for years, etc (aka, the WAY they did it) make migrating a poor value prop. If I have to suffer worse tools and pay the tax of fixing them/updating them, then for each system when I think it's time to migrate to Scala 3 I might think it's time to migrate off Scala entirely.

It's possible that nothing could have reversed their existing trend, but I think it's fair to say that smaller communities (as another poster mentioned) can't afford this level of friction. Have we not seen Perl->Raku? Python2-3?

Additionally, while almost all of Scala 3 is an improvement over 2, whitespace significance seems like an awful hill to die on. Most people who value that sort of syntax in domains where Scala has made any inroads are already on Python, and we're going to alienate many existing developers in the (vain) hope of increasing marketability?


I learned scala due to load testing with Gatling.

I’ve always hated Java but Scala was super fun.


Here the context is prozac FOR CHILDREN, not in general. Yet some people make a point in commenting that SSRIs are ineffective in general because they believe in some big pharma conspiracy. This is spreading misinformation. The truth is that SSRIs are modestly more effective than a placebo for approximately >> one third of the individuals << who try them. In other words, SSRIs are effective for more than 60-66% of adults. Moreover, there are a few different types of SSRIs. It takes time to find the one that fits you.

See: the Sackler family

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing and making it open-source!


Comprehensive analysis. Awesome!


I hope robots like these will be used to help the elderly continue to live in their homes. There is a huge need to support the aging society and not enough people. I believe this would be more useful than replacing receptionists or people that have industry jobs.


Someone said once that everything you farm out to others when old you’ll lose so while these robots might seem kind and helpful a lot of people are better off looking after themselves as best they can for as long as they can.


Mojo looks like the perfect balance between readability (python-like syntax) and efficiency (rust-like performance).
