It's a more powerful version of Java. Java is still trying to backport features from Scala.

good point. counterpoint: it'll catch on with more users in the general public with a shorter, easier name. gpt has to be repeated a few times or possible to make mistakes. gtp? gpd?

If we ship all our jobs overseas we can increase profits significantly. The poor and middle class will suffer in our country, and so will our economy.

Really? Are you still buying all your stuff from China where they are standing up new coal plants every day? Just because the pollution doesn't happen here doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I identified with this story quite a bit. I had a similar experience at a cut-throat big name tech company. It's extremely political and the business has to run extremely sharp to succeed. Hence the hightened politics and management in

I've never looked back. Projects like this one would certainly help make it more sane. Love to see work in this space

it was a minor pain finding and setting up a postgres operator in k8s, but once i got it going it wasn't too horrible. are these other solutions that are more built for it significantly easier to manage?

This article is fantastic because it makes the subject so accessible

Article is a few years old but still very much relevant today. I am a huge fan of the author's scala libraries which have been a joy to use and have been deployed to various production systems with 0 issues

I have been doing scala professionally for a decade, I have probably have 1 NPE per year on average, max. And pretty much never from an established scala lib. It's by convention not to use null - heavy use of Option, etc.

SBT has a learning curve but it also has a nice ecosystem, for example sbt-native-packager is better than its competitors in maven or gradle.

Sounds like a heavier car is actually safer to put me and my loved ones inside, at least for now.

I think it's subtly insightful because a goal focuses us on the endpoint and a quest focuses us on the journey that we need to undertake to get there. But to each his or her own!

Seconded. I shudder when I think back to the "test driven development" days when I wrote so much throwaway test code. Later, you try to refactor the app and it's another 50% of effort to update all the tests. The solution is

Really cool libraries coming out by you guys! thank you

This is pretty amazing on my fast connection. makes you realize how slow things actually are when you use something like this

Same. It cuts off really quick when I'm trying to phrase a complex prompt and I wind up losing my work. So I go to the manual dictation mode, which works really nicely but doesnt give me the hands off mode. I admit, the hands off mode

Her enthusiasm about it "being about her" was really bizarre and I wonder if it wasn't staged a bit. I mean I hope it was staged a bit. If my AI servant started wasting all that time by acting all silly I would be pretty anno

Well, "meaningful" is relative. I don't disagree with your overall point necessarily, though I strongly prefer remote work myself.

I tend to agree. My formatting guide is the default formatter in intellij, then i choose my whitespace, brackets, newlines etc based on each situation. There is no real reason to get any more complicated than that

Agreed, reminds me very much of perl. I just consider these two, especially perl (partly because I'm such a novice), require a lot of discipline for how to choose a style that will scale well.

by dionian 3y ago
Great piece! I think of this as a feature. The idea of scala was to be a 'scalable' language you can do lots of things with. OOP, FP, etc. It does introduce the need for more discipline which i think your article properly addresse

I tend to agree, although certainly, it would possibly be poor style to mix them together frequently in the same area in an egregious way
