I think what you're trying to do at Grasswire is interesting, but I feel like here you're arguing against the very point that Swartz was making. I think of all people he is the last one that you could accuse of not caring, and yet

Thanks Martin, unfortunately it's past the point where I can edit my original comment or I'd go back and fix it. As I recall you said it off-mike in Bill Venners' talk, otherwise I would have fact-checked it! Anyway, details

I've written a lot of Scala and I don't think I've seen anything as slow as even 1 line/second. Odersky was talking about Shapeless, which is an edge case in that it is a home for all the type-heavy calculations that sca

Compilation speeds are largely dependent on the type of code you're writing. At London's Scala Exchange last year, Odersky claimed he can get 10k lines/second (10x slower than javac, but still not bad) out of scalac by writin

Read this before, but always good to be reminded of a classic. I'd consider most of the essays on his front page essential reading, but I particularly enjoy the wit in his essay on writing a spelling corrector in Python [0], and the fl

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Yeah I'm aware the look on Chrome on my Android is pretty terrible, which is on my list to get sorted. Looks like it's even worse on iOS! At the moment its basically using the default site template fro

I work for a large organisation and am not really in a position to go into details about what we'd be using it for at the moment, sorry. Suffice it to say that we're pretty early on in the project and so far we're using Akka

The way we have it set up, if the JVM crashes then it will mean that the health check url used by the load balancer will become unresponsive. This would lead to the auto scaling group downing the instance and replacing it with a new one. So

Thanks! The SDK has some "quirks" (and isn't especially Scala-friendly) but I reckon it's ultimately pretty powerful. My main gripe is the lack of real-world examples in the docs - hence my desire to write this up.
