Exactly. It's as if some are just wishing privacy away as an inconvenience getting in the way of tracking us for advertising revenue. So what does a post privacy world look like? Should we do away with curtains in our bedrooms? Should

I agree with you, up to a point. I find Ruby code pretty awful to make sense of with very little type information. Type inference with explicit return types for methods strikes a nice balance between verbosity and readability. I think Scala

I don't really find it "actually really awesome" when I have to read through 6 screens worth of getters and setters in legacy Java code vs what it would have looked like in C# or Scala. In Scala or C# you're looking at t

With existing Java code and/or a tight timeline with existing skills I can see how that would be the best choice :) I'm thinking more in terms of the surprisingly high proportion of Java developers who have never learned another l

I doubt it was inspired by a random Reddit thread, but rather by the news which the reddit thread refers to, which has been all over the media for days: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151111-egypt-pyra.

I've been using Scala primarily for a few years now after using Java since the 90's. Well written Scala code is much more pleasant to write and maintain than Java (true even for JDK 8). Scala's feature set is great, but you n

It would be more accurate to say that abuse of implicit conversions are now considered an anti-pattern. They are a core part of the language e.g. many of the extra functions Scala adds to java's String class.

I'm saying that your usage pattern has little in common with the 99.99% of gmail users, hence isn't super-relevant as a data point to be used in the design of gmail.

Not everything in Scala can be cleanly translated into Java, but Kotlin looks more like a subset of Scala than it does a superset of Java. The syntax is very close.

Pron tends to zealously defend Java and Kotlin and bash pretty much anything else, especially Scala, but his post here today seems perfectly reasonable.

by jinst8gmi 11y ago
Yeah, Kotlin looks largely like a simpler, stripped down version of Scala. It's a lot closer to Scala than it is to Java, but it's close enough to Java devs to not have to put in much effort to learn vs learning Scala. I prefer Sc

Almost, just change the getters to lowercase 'g'et and add a bunch of unnecessary Spring boilerplate on top of it all.
