It's interesting that Martin Odersky (creator of Scala, and possibly also involved in SBT) responded in agreement, linking his own critique from several years ago.
- allengeorge 9y agoI found Odersky's comments and concern less useful than Li Haoyi's. Li's focused on the unclear - and broken - abstractions, while Odersky's seemed to focus more on the misapplication of language features. Am I reading this incorrectly?
- danielbarla 9y agoI think that's probably a fair comment (from my admittedly somewhat limited understanding). That said, both do seem to share a drive for simplicity and clarity at their core, and Li Haoyi's post does have the advantage of another 6 years of insight / subsequent changes to SBT.
- gmartres 9y ago> creator of Scala, and possibly also involved in SBT Martin has never worked on sbt. sbt started as a community project and is now maintained by Lightbend, which Martin co-founded.
