I use this tool a lot ! When I want to test a new library, I download it from maven using : import $ivy.`org.typelevel::cats:0.9.0` And then I play with it. Or when I read a scala book and copy past example/exercise to benefit from the

I used to do a little c++ as a student and never found a way to correctly handle error using exceptions. I am now a scala user, and in scala Either is the canonical way to handle errors. I understood the Either construct quickly and after a

Same here, Scala rocks ! Too bad play 2 is now using guice and promots runtime dependency injection like in Java world. Compile dependency injection is much better, I fear they'll try to mimick spring more and more in order to attract
