Not convinced on Scala being a good language to use for multi-person projects anymore. Same as with C++, you would have to heavily push code reviews and coding standards (disallow everything from that link?) in order to have even slightly maintainable code...
- bad_user 14y agoThat's only a superficial impression and I recommend you give it a second chance. If you're worried about the equivalent of "open classes" from Ruby, first of all in Scala implicit conversions are always scoped and statically type-checked, and second, that article is out of date.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoCan't you use traits and type member to simulate open classes? At least, this used to be possible, but then the compiler stopped letting us define type member bounds recursively around the time I left the project. Implicit conversions are a poor substitute to real open classes.
