- lmm 9y agoHuh? Everything worth bothering with is in maven central, the same place as all the Java libraries worth bothering with.
- cutler 9y agoAsk yourself why Clojure, which is also a JVM language, has Clojars. What happens if I want to browse Scala libs I don't already know about?
- lmm 9y agoI don't think I've ever browsed through any language's set of libraries - for any serious language there are far too many libraries for that to be useful. The only reason I've ever used e.g. PyPI is to look for a library for doing something specific, and I've never had trouble finding libraries for doing a given thing in Scala.
