Yes, and? Classes are not inherently bad, hence saying that JVM should not be invested in because its bytecode requires classes is nonsense. re: inline lambdas, they have to be _ti…

I'd say category theory concepts are not over the top - but category theory libraries could be! I just about never define or use explicit categoric typeclass instances - even thoug…

This is nonsense. And, not that there's anything wrong with classes, but compilers no longer need to 'insert fake classes' for anonymous functions since Java 8.

I suspect they use the LLM for help with text editing, rather than give it standalone tasks. For that purpose a model with 'thinking' would just get in the way.

Yes, it can. And it has done so before.

Well, IJ experience for Scala 3 is still noticeably worse than for Scala 2. We're still cross-compiling our work projects, waiting until Scala 3 support in Intellij is good enough …

Given that Scala-Android efforts predate Kotlin, Scala could have had a shot at Android if EPFL resources were allocated to it, like to Scala.js. Kotlin is not simple at all, it ha…

Just use `.iterator` before chaining and the final collection will only be allocated once.

Every significant language became multi-paradigm these days, but you can do it intentionally, like Scala, or you can do it badly.

I don't think it's possible to write a flawless codebase. That doesn't mean SWEs don't seek mastery of their craft. Moreover, achieving mastery doesn't mean you would actually want…
