Doesn't this just mean that the will rob you _and_ additionally charge you with some made-up crime and let you rot in jail until you sign the plea deal?

Holy shit ... is your space bar broken?

Yawn

This is not about being "offended". This is me being bored to death by the umpteenth dude – you – thinking that repeating random stuff written on the internet adds anything to the debate. It has made people shake their heads 5 yea

And this, kids, is a great example of concern trolling. It would be more credible if he wouldn't give it away so easily that his knowledge about Scala is limited to the stuff he read on the internet.

Lol. No, it doesn't ship them at all yet. Why are you acting so butt-hurt?

No, but if even technically illiterate managers lose their hope in a product that says something. Groovy devs have been unable to keep up with cleanups, improvements and requirements since years. There is just no point in using the language

I guess that's why they just lost their commercial sponsors recently.

by justthistime_ 11y ago
Oh right! I guess that explains why C# wants to add all the features Scala shipped with since 5 years ago.

It works without issues. I never have seen a use-case where this would have been an issue. Sure, it "looks" unfortunate, but there is only so much you can do when running on a completely uncooperative runtime. If devs need a typed

Well, then I think JSON is a petty bad example, because pretty much no service provides some schema-like specification of their protocol in JSON. If there is one thing I learned using type providers it is that maintaining your own "des

Exactly. Everyone should ask himself/herself "would this be newsworthy if they didn't name-drop Google?".

I'm not sure that Scala code + types is more verbose than Clojure code + tests. (Which is what the OP argued.)

Where would this sugar stop? At Either? At Try? At Validation? The problem is that if you introduce the sugar only for Option, users will tend to use Option even in cases where other type constructors would be more appropriate.

by justthistime_ 12y ago
Scala encourages people to not use nulls everywhere, so adding syntactic sugar for a special case, which is not even idiomatic Scala doesn't sound like a good idea. Option is not a "replacement" for null. Sometimes another ty

It's amazing that you keep doing edits which are literally begging for an emotional response, but couldn't manage to take a few minutes to check your claims against the reality.

by justthistime_ 12y ago
I'm not even sure which point you are trying to make. Did you even read the link you posted? It supports what I said. You keep writing walls of text which are either wrong or don't relate to the topic at hand. Many of the mistakes

by justthistime_ 12y ago
What did it bolt on? Where are the checks missing? The last major version and the next major version don't ship with any new feature at all, and removing some stuff, so it's a bit hard to see were you are coming from.

That's interesting, because weren't Kotlin and Ceylon created because people wanted to have "just a better Java", which Scala is not really interested in being? > they realized that almost all of the features are avai

Not seeing many pro-Scala comments in here. Isn't it more likely that some comments are downvoted by the general HN population, because they don't add anything useful to the debate? By the way, I just clicked your link, and I can&

Selective reading much?

How is slow compilation an "academic feature"? Same for the rest? There might be valid criticism, but to me your comment doesn't make a good job bringing the "stretch marks" across ...
145.
by justthistime_ 12y ago
Isn't it positive that the community is so large that it can sustain multiple compilers? Some time ago people complained that Scala had only one compiler ... so now they complain about the opposite?

by justthistime_ 12y ago
Could you give an example?

by justthistime_ 12y ago
Looks pretty readable and reasonable.

Which issues did you experience with http://www.artima.com/pins1ed/ ? (It's a slightly older version, but there aren't many changes which would be important for newbies.) Partially free: Atomic Scala also has
