Scala was already popular before Lightbend (Typesafe). Its backing was academic (EPFL).

However, the effect this next step can have on the overall economy can be disastrous. Not only is truck driver the most common profession, with their unemployment creating hardships for millions of families, and the families of industries r

There is a rule that forbids OS X app developers from selling an app that is in the app store at a lesser price somewhere else. I am really surprised that this is not considered anti-competitive price fixing.

I really do not see the problem with this. Odersky oversees a team of very capable people he trusts to work on the current Scala version, while he works on the future. He is the father of Scala, but please do not underestimate the brilliant

It reminds me of when, in the early days of consumer GPS, a friend of mine was a bit shocked at my insensitive impoliteness of completely ignoring direction after direction. He thought it worked as a service where someone was personally tra

If all they have is a name and number, can they really go to court, and win, with that alone, even if the presumed debtor does not show up?

I think Clojure and ClojureScript are really very nice, and a good contender to Scala if you like dynamic type systems. I think the biggest potential competitor to Scala may be Swift, now that it is open source. If it becomes as multi-platf

I have used it for 5 years, as my primary development language. At the beginning, it was exclusively for back-end stuff, and now, with ScalaJS, it truly has become a full-stack language. The recent announcement of Scala-Native, which is alr

I don't know about Zambia, but in Argentina most people don't care too much about campaign contributions. The perception is that most of the corruption there is through cronyism, and kickbacks from outrageously overpriced goods an

There doesn't necessarily have to be any offence, and this doesn't necessarily have to be about pronouns. Suppose A/B testing on your site shows that female users are more likely to buy your product with a given display alter

I agree. However, some people change their given name to match the gender they identify with. In such cases, if the data about their gender preference were missing, this paper can also be useful.

I'm not sure about that. Those "all possible proofs" will be an infinite numerable set. To pick a specific proof from the set, you will need an arbitrarily large number as the index, so your few hundred lines will not be enou

Apple has strict rules for allowing apps into the iOS AppStore, and they are enforced for every developer, including Google. While I disagree with the contents of the article, the rant should not be against Google only. If material design a

I think randomness would undermine the "will" part of "free will", whilst perfect determinism would undermine the "free" part of "free will".

Internal state makes understanding the output more difficult: your output is now a function of the input plus the internal state. However, it does not make it freer: the same input paired with the same internal state will always produce the

As a European, I am starting to think that we should build a wall, and make the US pay for it, to prevent all of these people from coming in. It is not their best people they send us: it's the ones that default on their loans! Wake up

Well, yes, but if they decide to discontinue the service, or increase the price, this is no guarantee that all other users will get the same treatment as Alphabet companies.

The other two are important too: the JVM lets you leverage lots of existing libraries. The browser lets you reach more users.

You can also do s"$varOne$varTwo" and that concatenates two variables.

A difference is that Scala can run on the JVM, the browser (and other JS ecosystems) via ScalaJS, and now native. It doesn't get more universal than that!

If your app becomes successful, and you host it on a CDN, 200MB will consume a lot of bandwidth, creating costs that may prevent you from distributing it for free.

It could be, but it could be not, so the "looks like" is very appropriate. Emilio Estévez may not be as common as John Smith, but it is not a very rare name/surname combination either.
