I’ve created a small utility script at work that automates some routine tasks and nicely formats the collected data in a table, and I can say that Nushell is an amazing tool.

Nice article. The problem of multiple booleans is just one instance of a more general problem: when a function takes multiple arguments of the same type (i32, String, etc.). The ne…

I’m very happy that I learned Scala back in 2018(thanks to my colleague). I quickly realized that this is the language I want to use for work, and after some time, I joined my firs…

When you’re choosing Scala you have all the perks of JVM platform. You can reuse Java libraries if needed. Scala has pretty powerful type system. JVM in turn is a pretty good platf…
