It also means we burn time and energy "rediscovering" the same knowledge we failed to better preserve and communicate. I'm all for greenfield when appropriate but I also get more quality work done standing on giants.

That's exactly what I was referring to when I mentioned speculation risk... What did you think I meant by that?

HA long ago blew past OpenHAB in functionality and community. Unless you have a hard-on for JVM services, HA is the better XP these days.

Having also used all those languages, Scala was easily the worst documented, tooled, and community supported. That makes it worse as a language overall because of the reduced devex. You may personally find it great, but as a business langua

Fewer devs, fewer libs, fewer tools, fewer projects. Those are all quantified with out a research study.

You have a lot fewer candidates to pull from too, which is often a more limiting factor for a business. Business don't need everyone to be a rockstar who's also a FP whiz. But FP languages need that.

Isn't that the value GitLab is trying to provide?

None of that answered the question of what's the value proposition is, while also missing the point of several criticism.

I'm still trying to reason what the value proposition of Scala is in a business sense. Developer are more expensive and harder to find, the tooling is weaker, the ecosystem less deep, performance suspect, and the overall XP feels clunk

1? 1000? Regardless the answer, the lack of context makes the figure meaningless.

This is awesome! There are a few other text to diagram language out there, but this seems to support straight up drawing via text. Very powerful given the flexibility. I also dislike how fiddly it appears with whitespace and general verbosi

This is great news! I have switched my machines over to KDE for Wayland support and a bit better overall XP but still love XFCE for what it is.

I think all NVM langs claim interoperability with Java ecosystem. The situation on the ground is never as nice as sold in my XP. Scala is a great example where I've seen the "best" option being rewrapped libs with scala calls

You're saying you can't think of one context where a trade of between largest supported int value vs total bytes of the message is a reasonable one? I would encourage you to work with either data at scale or embedded hardware for

What are the measured natural flouride levels of the well water you referenced and how did they compare to the municipal water supply? What about genetic predisposition to cavities?
