Yeah. Lennart Poettering is one of the unsung heros of modern Linux - and the most maligned one, in my opinion. While I get that some people are uncomfortable with breaking with traditions, I absolutely do not get all the hostility directed

I'm really curious how this will influence the implementation of value classes and opaque types in Scala. I do hope that this will lead to a more efficient encoding, although I wonder how this would be possible without breaking backwar

I guess if you want to maintain compatibility with all the existing ecosystem, it's better to be extra careful.

I had a look at Kotlin and it's definitively an huge improvement with regards to Java. It is free of all the ceremony and boilerplate of Java and null values are so much less of an issue. Still, coming from Scala I'm a bit und

This is very exciting; one more library making use of the amazing features that come with Scala 3. It's a beautiful and simple language, more so than Scala 2 and I cannot recommend it highly enough for many productive use-cases.

It's not experience with Scala at all, but we all have different journeys. Should you ever find yourself using Scala again, I hope you make the same pleasant discoveries as I have. Thanks for elaborating your point of view.

That was just an observation with regards to what we "modern" humans consider to be "normal", not a comment on how far down the next collapse will bring us. (Not to mention that we probably have neither the abilities nor

I get the feeling that you misunderstand the gist of the article. The gist of the article is not "I didn't know you were going to get rich off of my work (and I'm pissed off by that)". The premise is - in my reading - &q

The title of the article is "Open Source is broken" and its subtitle is "Why I Don't Write Useful Software Unless You Pay Me" And I disagree with both of these statements. Open source is not broken and I'll con

Another way would be to enforce open-source requirements for any public spending including/producing code. You want a city to buy your traffic control system? Open source the code first. You want a state to use your voting machines? Op

Seconded. While the criticism that Scala's tooling support might have been true some six or seven years ago, nowadays it is top notch.

Scala is an amazing language I love writing software in. The tools it offers to model business domains, the power of expressive types make it next-to-none when it comes to shape, remodel and refactor code. Then there's the ecosystem. S

To discard Cats as 'basically Haskell ported to Scala' is doing it a bit of a disservice. Yes, it explores pure functional programming, but that design space is huge.
