If you read the whole post and didn't come out thinking "types are a surprisingly big deal", I have failed as a writer.

The point wasn't to show how to build HTML fragments, the point was to show javascript interop. You could create a nice wrapper-library around anything in any-language, really, but that misses the entire point of that example: to sho

The live coding presentation is two years out of date; Scala.js now compiles to a single JS blob Everything function marked with @JSExport will be exposed to Javascript. There's no concrete difference between an application with one `@

Never used it but it seems like a plausible project; it has Google's infinite $$$ backing it and smart people like Gilad Bracha on the team. They've built up quite a lot (language, tools, package-manager, IDE, ...) from scratch wh

I can't say, really. I have written a lot of Javascript/Coffee/Java/Scala/C#/F#/Python/PHP, and made a bunch of crappy websites, but I have never written any code in a language that compiles to assemb

No clue, as far as I know (as an outsider) the effect system is still in the brainstorming phase with not much pinned down or concrete yet. On the other hand Dotty has a lot of very, very concrete benefits I would like. 2x faster compile ti

I agree with this 100%. Having too many ways of doing things, and no way to pick between them, results in everyone doing things every which way, all different. That's why this document exists at all. We can definitely make things bette

You didn't touch a nerve, I'm just being snarky because it's the internet and if I don't the internet police will arrest me. "code complexity means you can't get away with it" seems very common. Five neste

I was going to say Scala's secret weapon was in it's non-turing-complete typesystem. Unfortunately, Scala's typesystem is turing complete.

How on earth are those things related? Because using mutability to model mutable things makes programming easier, while using mutability to model immutable things makes it harder. It's not rocket science...

I don't type-ascribe all public methods. Maybe I should but I'm lazy. I don't even type-ascribe my implicit vals or defs... i probably should but i don't As to Either, I didn't mention it because I don't use it

I like immutability too. It's just sometimes rather inconvenient. I would agree with you if you could write something like http://www.lihaoyi.com/roll/ in a pure immutable style and show me how it's better. Y

i say "hardcode dependencies" for three reasons: - If you want to extract them out, it's safe and straightforward. Still a tedious refactor, but a safe tedious refactor. It's not any harder than injecting stuff up-front.

Find something you want to do, try to do it, find out what you don't know, and learn it. You could try learning from a book or a course, but personally I've never found a better way of learning "what I need to learn for X&quo
