Then please stop selling Scala as being about type-safety or FP, because it makes them look bad.
Edit:
Also the demigod is paulp who worked on the Scala compiler team for five years. Hard to miss if you watch Scala dev at all.
- asdf1234 13y agoThat demigod also has a very long list of complaints about Haskell and Clojure. He doesn't think either of them are worth using either.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoMany PL enthusiasts aren't satisfied with any language (me included); there is plenty of critique to go around. And why should we be satisfied?
- frowaway001 13y agoSean did a PhD at the EPFL while working on Scala. I think he is allowed to have an opinion on that.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI did a post doc, worked on the IDE for a couple of years, and haven't been following Scala that closely for 5 years or so.
- frowaway001 13y agoThanks for the correction! 5 years is a long time in terms of Scala, maybe the Scala community has the chance to welcome you back some time in the future and show you how much stuff has been improved since back then? :-)
