Working for an org who bet on a mix of scala, python, and typescript, I can tell you which languages are being bet on for the rewritten services, and which language is getting in the way of getting things done.
- Taikonerd 3y agoAm I guessing correctly that Scala is "getting in the way of getting things done"?
- btreecat 3y agoThat's a Texas sized 10-4
- trympet 3y agoWhat's so bad about Scala? I've only used it for hobby projects myself.
- btreecat 3y agoUsing it in a context where you need to make money, it's a bad bet. Fine for academic ideas and such things, but really hard to build a business around. And the tooling, community, libs, and docs show how it just can't punch the same weight as other languages when at the end of the day you need to get shit done.
- fud101 3y agoscala is being rewritten in .. typescript?
- mnsc 3y agoCare to elaborate? Are there any big frameworks in the mix that might have gone from oss to commercial?
- btreecat 3y agoWe have both Akka and http4s in use, and are migrating to http4s for those services. We need to do more things more quickly with fewer hands. TS and Python are just easier and better tooled for the majority of our (CRUD) work.
