In my opinion, Scala should be moving towards a clearer, more unified syntax, as demonstrated by improvements to implicits and underscore usage. Introducing [] for collection literals, when those symbols are already fundamental to the type system, seems to me a violation of this principle. I believe it's a step backward, it adds unnecessary ambiguity to the syntax. #scala

How is it possible that Scala 3 can depend on Scala 2.13 artifacts and vice versa? It's a pretty cool solution to be honest. 👏 (The video is a bit old, but still relevant!) #scala

Don't underestimate how garbage collection works. It's a crucial part of many programming languages.☝️

It's fascinating to see FP goodness creeping into traditionally imperative/OO languages like C++. Iterable std::optional in C++26 is a prime example. Soon we'll be currying functions while manually managing memory! 🤣 #functionalprogramming #cpp

Last year was packed with new experiences and challenges. Here are some of the highlights that stand out: - 👨‍💻 Began sharing my passion for tech by re-posting insightful articles and videos to spread knowledge and spark conversations - ⌨️ Learned Vim motions and switched to columnar keyboard. I wish I'd done this ages ago - it's a game-changer, trust me! - ☕️ Survived 10 months without caffeine, allowing me to sleep 30 minutes less and feel more refreshed and focused! - ✈️ Created unforgettable memories with my son during our first-ever airplane vacations - 🎹 Started messing around on the accordion. It's harder than it looks! - 📚 Read 8 books - 🏃 Ran, 🚶 walked and 🏔️ hiked 1000 km - 💪 Spent 100+ hours on various activities like 🏋️ weight lifting and 🧗 climbing My son's second birthday this summer opens up a whole new world of possibilities - like finally taking him camping in the mountains and sleeping under the stars together! ✨ #YearInReview #ReflectingOn2024

My prediction: 2025 sees a major jump in Scala 3 migrations from Scala 2. The cumulative impact of the new features is just too good to ignore.☝️ #scala3 #prediction

The IntelliJ Scala Plugin in 2024 | The IntelliJ Scala Plugin Blog

TL;DR You don't need to upgrade to Scala 3 immediately, as maintenance of Scala 2 will continue "indefinitely". My suggestion: if you are already on 2.13, invest your time to upgrade – it's worth it! #scala3

Not sure why the sound quality isn't better, especially since @makingthematrix.github.io obviously used an external microphone and a pop filter... Anyway, this video is a great introduction if you want to start programming in Scala with IntelliJ IDEA by your side 👇

"Now we need to ensure that the [IntelliJ Scala plugin] team is part of the compiler release process..." Great take! I would even say, don't release a feature if there is no IDE support from day one! https://medium.com/@w.pitula/on-scala-tooling-stability-what-can-we-learn-from-a-small-drama-a48619e50f97

Thanks @SoftwareMill and VirtusLab for all your hard work helping the Scala ecosystem grow 👏 Can't imagine not having you guys! ♥️

Scala 3.6 is released 🎉 Read about the new features like clause interleaving, improved syntax for context bounds, and more! #scala3

Scala 3.6.2 is now available!

30% of Scala projects in production are using Scala 3. Not great, not terrible. But hey, at least versions < 2.13 are finally going the way of the dinosaurs 🦕

Rust has a history of dropping features like garbage collection, OOP, and pure functions. So, keep that in mind the next time you get upset that Scala 3 dropped experimental support for macros. #rust #scala

Arrow 2.0, making Kotlin the Scala-- it should have been, from the Java++ it is. #kotlin #arrow

The release of named tuples as a stable feature in Scala 3.6 has been deferred due to the three-stage rollout plan (experimental, preview, and stable). Disappointing, but understandable 😐
