As implemented, we do not change the superficial python syntax. That has a number of advantages around compatibility, but it means embedding raw SQL outside string literals isn’t possible. We could do things like validating/transformin

Author here, funny to see this up here again after so many years. Happy to answer questions

Haha one step at a time. First I need to finish this final round of reviews and edits to get this manuscript out the door!

Sure! I have the table of contents for "Scala for the Impatient" open in front of me: - S4tI goes into a lot more detail into language features: custom extractors, abstract overrides, annotations, higher kinded types, custom ope

I love Python too! The style of Scala used in this book is much closer to Python than Mathematica or Scheme, with many of the libraries involved being carbon copies (os-lib, requests-scala, ujson) so you will feel right at home. As to what

Glad you like them! The reason Scalatags is so good is that it is my 7th iteration of a HTML templating library: starting from using XHP at work, I had written my own templating libraries in PHP, Python, C#, F#, and 2 others in Scala before

Yes! We use a lot of functional techniques in this book, but we do not dwell on them. In the end you will be using functional techniques not because they’re interesting, but because they’re the obvious and easy. That is how functional progr

I can’t really promise the “before”, but the e-book will be released when the current round of review and edits is complete. The physical books released when I can figure out the logistics of printing and distribution

> Is there a concrete example of the Python-like code vs the more complex ones? I appreciate the help. Haha this book is going to be 400 pages of concrete examples. It's not out yet, so you'll have to take my word for it for th

It doesn't for now, and doesn't really need to. Scala 3 isn't out yet, and when it is there will be a migration period (as always) while things will remain backwards compatible and libraries will remain cross compiled. This b

I didn't post this, but cool to see this up here! The full book is ~400 pages and will be released Summer 2020 (i.e. soon!). If you're interested in being notified when it comes out, there's a mailing list link on the page an

Author here. The full title is “The Death of Hype: What’s Next for Scala”, and the full title is significant. This article is as much about the initial hype and its decline as it is about the future prospects of the language. It very much i

In one of my current projects, I'm using Scalatags on the server-side generating strings, and then using the same templates on the client to generate Preact.js vdom nodes to re-hydrate the server side templates. Cross-platform, cross-b

I’d say you deal with it the same as in any other language(s): with consensus, coordination, and code review. After all, if you are a Go shop, what’s stopping someone implementing their code in Haskell? Or someone in a Python shop deciding

The way I look at modern Scala is a mix of Python and Java. Do it badly, and you end up with the unmaintainability of Python and the clunkiness of Java. Awful. Do it well, and you end up with the convenience and interactivity of Python and
