You're just supporting my point.

Many European countries do install AC actually, poor ones at that, so it'd be a valid point because yes, it's that easy.

Both sides of the same coin, I'd be surprised if Databricks wasn't looking into getting rid of the JVM entirely. The data processing space is increasingly tangled with ML and AI, P…

Right, especially if you were burned by Scala, Kotlin is even less principled, and lately has grown in complexity, partly thanks to re-inventing several Scala features, only worse.…

How's that relevant to people moving away from Scala?

Which moderators exactly? That hasn't been the stance of people in the Scala Center, Typesafe/Lightbend, VirtusLab and SoftwareMill. ScalaZ is old news and if you went there (on IR…

Not only it happened at the worst possible time, but some pain points are entirely self-inflicted, like the braceless syntax hurting tooling and fragmenting the community for very …

I try to keep track of teams moving away from Scala at my company and among my friends and acquaintances, and I know a lot of key people in the community. Scala to Kotlin stories a…

I'm pretty sure most companies don't care nor are aware about the community drama. Arguably Rust is worse, and it doesn't impact its uptake. Scala was sold through Akka and Spark, …

I wonder how you see 10x more Clojure news. Scala's usage is stagnant or declining, but Clojure has always been tiny in comparison. It doesn't even register in most rankings (TIOBE…

In Scala, .sc is used for worksheets and inconsistently for scripting, see https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/scripting for instance.

Java LSPs are essentially the same approach, headless Eclipse JDT or NetBeans. While Metals for Scala was an overhaul from the former Eclipse plugin (and Ensime) plus early experim…

No I'm not. Ask anyone who tried to dispute a purchase that happened within the EEA, whether online with SCA or card present with PIN, card issuers often tell you to deal with the …

I've never used iDEAL but I assume the confusion comes from the fact checkout widgets (e.g. from Adyen) are transitioning from iDEAL to "iDEAL | Wero". I assume UX is the same, i.e…

Which is pretty much the case with Visa and MC too. There's little card payment fraud in Europe thanks to mandated strong authentication, and very low transaction fees as interchan…

I'm on DC5 since I lived in Korea when signing up, but I cannot say I've noticed many outages.

Easy and approachable sound pretty subjective to say the least; feature and syntax wise, Swift has become an absolute monster of a language. Rust's tooling and ecosystem are ahead …

Almost exactly the same (or worse) can be said about Google's E2EE RCS, but somehow Apple decided to publicly back the initiative. Most people would much more benefit from 1) a fas…

SEPA transfer fields need to follow a standard. I think it's fine, we shouldn't put more control and censorship there (try to put Daesh membership fee if you want to get your accou…

I was a teenager when Switzerland introduced the mandatory ID check, in 2003 or 2004 iirc. My carrier added 10 CHF credit to my prepaid plan for the trouble. It's still fairly easy…

Bilateral agreements were signed in 1999 and freedom of movement enacted in 2002 so you must not have looked very hard. Also claiming that immigration from a country like Portugal …

You're throwing a lot of words that you don't understand nor have much relevance to the topic. Before bilateral agreements and the freedom of movement, not Schengen which was ratif…

Schengen is not FoM. Visa isn't an acronym. And CERN workers are on diplomatic permits anyway.

FoM doesn't require to stay in Schengen-Dublin though.

To be fair that's not specific to SVP's populist initiatives, the parliament pushes bills with nonsensical names all the time.
