I feel like you're the kind of commenter the author is advising against taking advice from. Someone learning Scala presumably cares much less about gaining "awareness of the Scala ecosystem" than writing their first Scala program.
I don't know Scala though, so perhaps your argument would make more sense to me if you explained why they were so wrong.
- nikitaga 4y agoscalaz is irrelevant to scala in 2022, cats won almost everyone over a long time ago. The author is basically raising a giant "I haven't touched Scala in years (or ever)" flag by bringing up that choice. Then proceeds to summarily dismiss Scala as "a mess". Right. I'm tired of people who never really used Scala or haven't used it in years casually shitting on it like it's a cool thing to do. Like "Scala is a mess" is something self-obvious that doesn't even need any explanation / justification. And Scala aside, it's pretty amazing that a blog post that can be summarized as "be a normie, being weird is expensive" is at the top of Hacker News. Such hackers we are.
