Personally I'm looking forward to scala native 1.0 more than anything else. We'll have a strong Haskell competitor. I dont like jvm.

- logicchains 5y agoWhat about OCaml? Soon it'll finally have multicore (and an effect system!).

- amw-zero 5y agoHow is current Scala not actually a Haskell competitor today? Superficial dislike of a VM isn't a valid reason.
- whateveracct 5y agoHaskell's runtime is just better for pure FP than the JVM. GHC's optimizations and general TCO go a long way.
- amw-zero 5y ago‘Just better’ is not a valid argument. Better at what? Better for what use cases? If we start to treat software like fashion, I don’t think we’re going to make very good decisions in the coming years.
- whateveracct 5y agoI mean "just better" at every use-case? It eliminates the cost of functions where JVM languages cannot due to its limitations. I really don't think I'm treating software like fashion - I'm speaking from years of practical experience here. The main thing FP on the JVM does better is be permitted by your employer lol. So if we're talking runtime vs runtime, there's no use-case. In general, it's all soft/social reasons.
- amw-zero 5y agoAh yes - you've reduced all of the JVM down to a terrible piece of software that doesn't power a tremendous portion of the software on planet Earth. This is when I know to not consider a person's comments seriously. When they even wear their bias on their sleeve.
- The_rationalist 5y agoScala native is not at all needed, you can already leverage graalVM native
- ahel 5y agoYeah, not at all easy though. Spent two days at work and didn't managed to get it done.
