I am a bit concerned that between the Scala, Dotty, Typelevel, and now the Reasonable Scala Compiler, that the Scala community might become fragmented. Hopefully the rsc's claim of "making our findings available to the Scala community at large" holds true.
Edit: should have keep reading before commenting. In their related work document:
>we are definitely not declaring Lightbend Scala dead. To the contrary, we view ourselves as complementary to Lightbend Scala and hope that our results will create new opportunities for the official compiler. We are planning to keep in contact with Lightbend to discuss our findings and facilitate technology transfer.
- foolfoolz 9y agoscala and dotty will be one and the same in the next major version. the rest are niche tools. no one should be afraid to develop their own compiler or tool chain for fear of fragmentation. the lessons learned can only help the trunk
