    Scala 3 somewhat simplies implicits by the way. Especially w.r.t to extension methods, which are now a first class construct in the language: https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/ref…

    Kotlin is a better Java, or simpler Scala. Simpler can be better for plenty of teams, especially for those coming from Java. But I'll not be switching any time soon.

    Sidenote: Mindfulness (AKA vipassana or insight) meditation can give you that gap between feeling something, an emotion in this case, and responding to it. It's potentially useful …

    Can I use this to run Scala Native apps in the browser? Making Scala.js redundant. :P

    Also deis and flynn. http://deis.io/ https://flynn.io/ There's quite a few options in this area. I've recently started using dokku for personal projects. My current plan is to migr…

    Which is what Dotty is attempting to do, but hopefully with minimal codebase breakage. There's a tradeoff between breakage and improvement, but I'd like not to wait 10 years before…

    I think Scala is doing a decent job at bringing these concepts together. Scala ticks all the OOP points you made - even more than Java does (Java has special primitives for int/boo…

    Yep, or drop the dependency. E.g. For joda specifically, you should probably move to Java 8 date API, which is more likely to be ported. Bare in mind that scalajs has the same issu…

    When did you try it out? What didn't you like? I ported a site written in vanilla Javascript. I decided to faithfully port it without any changes before introducing scala specific …

    I believe that works against jvm bytecode, which you don't get for scalajs. Instead the compiler has a JS specific intermediate representation which the optimizations occur on.

    Your correct that it probably doesn't use scala.reflect, but it still uses reflection. Jackson works using reflection. Play JSON therefore at least depends on reflection transative…

    The comments on MongoDB JIRA ticket pretty much sum it up. A hard arbitrary limit sucks. They say the real limit would be RAM, maybe they should change to that. If there's a thresh…

    1&1 are just as bad as GoDaddy, in that they advertise $1.99 domains... Where you have to buy for 2 years and the second year price is much higher. I take your point though, I shou…

    It's automated. With around 500 TLDs and 7 providers, manually maintaining it would be a nightmare.

    If you've ever bought a domain then you'll know that there are a number of providers, each with their own prices and pricing structures. I was surprised to find there isn't a price…

    IntelliJ (by JetBrains, the company behind Resharper) has similar functionality, for all the VCSs it supports. Very nice feature!

    Takipi may be of interest. It's only for JVM languages though - I'm not sure if equivalents exist for other languages. Otherwise, look at building (or find existing) tooling on top…

    Try gradle. It's written in groovy, but surprisingly nice to use with Scala & Java.
