The death of the .NET port can directly be attributed to Microsoft's marketing of the platform. If they manage to make people question whether .NET will still be alive in 10 years, it's no surprise that people start dropping support for it.
- platz 13y agoMy sample size is small, but the sentiment mainly comes from this: "Pacific Northwest Scala 2013 We're Doing It All Wrong by Paul Phillips - YouTube" [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS1lpKBMkgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS1lpKBMkgg
- frowaway001 13y agoWhile I usually agree with most things Paul Phillips says, that talk was mostly an exception. There is nothing which can't be fixed by focused work on all the bits and pieces which need work, and that's exactly what the scalac compiler developers are doing most of the time. So many improvements are coming in every week that I can hardly stand using an older compiler version, because I always know that so much stuff has already substantially improved. Despite what some people say, life in Scala-land is pretty damn good.
