   Great news! Nevertheless, some people will still manage to spin this announcement into some proof that Scala is dying!!! (this time for real!)

   Man, you really need to get over your SBT hate. Maven and Ant are barely maintained anymore despite so many broken things. Just compare artifact resolution/download speed between Maven/Ivy and sbt with coursier. There is no way in

   It's the best language you can get currently. There are a few "copy-cats", but it shows that the creators lacked the experience and time to really think about how to achieve coherence of language constructs and how different

   This doesn't exist: error: value :++= is not a member of sbt.TaskKey[Seq[sbt.ModuleID]]

   > the main proponent for one JVM language Hey, I'm interested in that! What proponent? What language? If it was Raffi Krikorian would you mind having a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_%28programming_

   I have never seen them. Do they actually exist? Most of the time, there is := (set something), += (add something) and ++= (add multiple things). I think that's pretty straight-forward.

    It will take a bit longer on the first run to bootstrap SBT and the environment. After that, it's very fast. You can try https://github.com/alexarchambault/coursier for another factor-of-ten speedup in artifact re

    The crazy thing is that all of those points are blatantly false. - There has never been more activity in tooling as in the last half year. There are whole tooling conferences with almost 200 people attending. Tooling has been improved stead

    Implementing a monad is only 30% of the deal. Being able to abstract over monads (and other type constructors) ... that's the part that really matters. C# is not expressive enough for that.

    I'm just stating facts. No idea why these terrible people decided to join Scala in the first place. Maybe the Haskell community ejected them and they just picked their next community to harass?
