As someone who actually writes production code in Scala on a daily basis Paul Pillips' "concerns" have had zero practical impact on my daily use of the language. I tried to find content in his presentations that actually had any impact on me but I couldn't.
- kasey_junk 13y agoAs someone who also writes production code in Scala on a daily basis, and who took exception to the idea that the Scala collections library was a good example of type programming, Paul Phillips' concerns are spot on. If you are using the collections library as example of how to structure your own code, you are in for a bad time. The abstractions are not right, and things like the silly ParSeqViewLike trait are an expression of that.
