The author doesn't seem to be complaining about interior mutability, AFAICT. Scala makes the case the author is complaining about clearer than Kotlin, by using the 'def' keyword (same as functions/methods) for getters ra

The Scalaz vs Cats issue (and seeing what happens to them over time as a 'community judgement' on whether the CoC decision was correct, as in the article) is muddied further by the fact that Cats is different on a technical level

Given that a fair few people at EPFL seem to work on it and there seems to be a tendency for thesis projects to be written on Scala or to be updates/improvements to Scala, that alone seems like a decent source of updates (if not for st

I guess what you see as 'unboxing', I see as 'leaving intact'. In turn that is, I find your suggestion of automatically eta-expanding to be 'doing something' (auto boxing) and so 'why are we happy auto-box

I was always under the impression that those devices in schools weren't capable of making any surface touch-sensitive, but rather only the whiteboard itself, using sensing on the whiteboard (IR touch?). This Sony device seems to enable

Well they last rewrote the collections API in Scala 2.8 (I think), which was in 2010. If they redo it in 2.13 that'll have been about 8 years. That's certainly not C++ levels of backwards compatibility, but it's hardly freque

Folks commenting on the willingness to make breaking changes in 'Scala' should note that this is Dotty, an upcoming very eventual breaking replacement for Scala (think Python 3 or perhaps even Perl 6 but less radical than the lat

As someone who talks quite (very?) fast and has to carefully slow down for public speaking... ... I found Lin's style of speaking very difficult to listen to. I appreciate the professionalism of the approach (if that's what it is)

What you linked is about braces around the /body/ of an if statement. What the GP poster was talking about was parentheses around the /conditions/ of an if statement. Note that Rust (for example) doesn't require the

It might come down to culture/demand? In Japan where it's preferred to make a new home rather than buy a pre-owned one (outside the big city), pre-fab seems to have taken off rather more (13% of new builds in 2013). For example, a
