> While most programming languages allow you to take an expression (1213, "moo") and infer the type (Int, String), Scala allows you to go the other direction: take the type (Int, String) and infer a value (1213, "moo"

I wonder though, how much is some extra complexity good for the bottom line of companies that make their money on consulting and supporting the tools that they create/maintain?

Really? Did you require any non-engineers to be in the loop before launching the features? Were these public facing changes?

If you watch YouTube, then probably it's best to stick with Google since you get ad-free YouTube with your subscription (I think?) . Otherwise probably Spotify is better.

Well it's not necessarily a bad thing if the pay cut isn't too severe. Totally depends on what the adjustment is, and whether it's fair.

I get what you are saying, but if I look at it differently I still intuitively feel like it should be p=1/2 if they switch instead of 2/3. For example: - the bottom line is Monty will always eliminate one wrong choice - therefore

I wouldn't be surprised if the decision is very narrow in this case or if it is even postponed again until there is a ninth justice. But I have a bad feeling it will be decided in favor of Oracle, since considering specific APIs part o

And Scala even uses the same keyword "sealed". Glad they took that on the Java side, and didn't change it just for change's sake. Maybe there are other languages that had a sealed keyword but again, with Java, they are c

Wow, good to see they have borrowed yet another feature from Scala.

Reading through this thread seems to validate the point of the article. A lot of people agreeing that hooks and other features are too complex or hard to understand, and then just as many people arguing that they're actually simple and

Scala is an awesome language and studying it helped me improve as a programmer more than I can describe. That being said, even though Haoyi said he doesn’t think Java has “caught up”, the fact is it has closed the gap significantly on the l

Do any of the take-home projects actually only require 2 hours though? Maybe some of them have a recommended time around there, but isn't it basically required to spend longer?
