What? Do you have any example that wasn't fixed years ago?
Any non-trivial Scala app will consume dozens if not hundreds of Java libraries, without any issue.
- dima_vm 4y agoI filed an issue for Scala in 2009, that was answered like "sorry, this particular Java code cannot be used in Scala". In 2012 it still wasn't fixed. I cannot find the issue now, but I remember I was trying to use gae-mapreduce-java library (built on top of Hadoop interfaces). It couldn't compile with Scala.
- hocuspocus 4y agoThat's eons ago in Scala world. If you can, give it another try. I would assume such a bug was fixed in Scala 2.x given the prevalence of the language in the hadoop ecosystem and big data frameworks. Moreover Scala 3, was the opportunity to fix many previously-unfixable corner cases.
