We're a scala shop, we get a functional language with features such as parser combinators (packrat parsers) - super useful for building DSLs. Functional-Relational-Mapping (for comprehensions) for SQL. We're able to get good web services with play, with easy to write asynchronous code. Plus all of it runs on robust JVM. We love it, we'd not change it for us, hype or no hype.
- StreamBright 7y ago>> super useful for building DSLs This is exactly the reason we do not use Scala anymore. Tired of learning new DSLs for every single problem.
- ferzul 7y agoisn't the alternative to a dsl just constructing classes, giving them to each other, and using a bunch of stringy typed arguments?
- StreamBright 7y ago>> just constructing classes I usually do not want to construct classes, it does not help me achieving what I want in my day to day duties. >> using a bunch of stringy typed arguments? I usually have all sorts of typed arguments.
