That's the best and succinct description of using ChatGPT for this kind of things: it's a floor raiser, not a ceiling raiser.

That's no true at all. The syntax is pretty similar with few key differences. The idea is for dotty to become Scala 3.0. But, in the meantime, the next Scala 2.* versions will pave…

You may try out using Scala as script language like this: "scala myScript.scala". The first startup times are slower, and even after that it may be slower than Python/Ruby but it s…

Although named arguments are good, you won't use it in all function calls.

Can you elaborate on this: "and to handle all cases..".

From my brazilian perspective it's very strange to read this. In Brazil, vacation is mandatory by law. Any employee has 30 days of vacation by year. But the moment the employee goe…

Not really a natural law, but medicine from time to time finds out that working too much or sleeping less or not having time for pleasure/fun/family hurts your health.

You can actually make it automatically convert in both directions with just an import. But it is good practice to do it explicitly. In my opinion, for a typesafe language, this is …

I think "distributed" in this context is about multiple machines/servers. Not multiple plataforms.

A few suggestions: you could remove this kind of idiom: .map( result = { ... }) In the blocking commands example the snippet resembles the Javascript callback hell when it could be…

Chrome in OS X here and it all seems fine.

Comparing Pattern matching to "ifs and elses" shows that, saddly, he didn't really understand its power. Also, his opinion on Options seems to forget its advantage that the compile…

I didn't understand what it is supposed to do.

It hasn't been a real problem for me. But I cant say the same for every kind of program developed in Scala. I'm not saying that it is not a problem and I dont recognize it. Its jus…

How many times you do full recompile during a day? I'm curious because in my workflow I rarely do full recompile.

Just use sbt ~compile. It will compile every time a file changes (only what is needed) . I've been using Scala full time for a year now, and I've never been bothered by compiling t…

One simple example of Scala power is the greatness of the Future pattern (scala, akka, finagle/twitter and other implementations). You can still have the exact same Futures functio…

Scala compilation is indeed slow (although I think C++ is worse). But I always have a "sbt ~compile" running, compiling every file as they change. So the compilation time is pretty…
