Martin Odersky did a fantastic job with Scala then, and also with Scala 3 IMO from a language design perspective. When I first got into Scala, I was blown away by the language feat…

Scala is a great language, and functional programming (not pure functional) made me a much better programmer. And functional error handling is a fantastic way to model success and …

Also agree with some of the comments here that majority of articles about OAuth are incredibly verbose, but really hard to actually implement without concrete examples. I personall…

Nice idea and the site looks well done! Congrats on launching this. I played around the site a bit and with the different panels.. a few thoughts/questions... THOUGHTS 1. Target: I…

Hi, I’m curious, can you elaborate on the language features that you think Kotlin ignores?

Nice work on this! I’ve looked into task queue libraries for Node and Java in the past. Yours looks straight-forward. A few questions: 1. What’s the error handling strategy for whe…

Some suggestions based on my own experience working on various projects/services/startups over the years… 1. “Avoid 100%”: By this I mean avoid 100% in that balance can be as littl…

I think the main differences Scala being much more of a functional programming language where as Kotlin is a bit of a balance between Java/OOP and FP and affects the complexity/lea…

This is some impressive stuff! Congrats on a sizable achievement. I just went through your website, have a few questions... Questions: 1. SCALA: is the generated code ONLY scala? a…

I’m working on a Kotlin Framework to build Apps, APIs, CLIs, Jobs and Mobile apps, it’s available at https://github.com/slatekit/slatekit with docs at https://www.slatekit.com Been…

I think it’s pretty simple why you’d want to use Kotlin on the server; full stack Kotlin development: 1 language for both Android and Server(lowers time, costs, and you can share c…

Agree completely with everything you said and your observations regarding job market. I’ve been doing Scala for several years and I also would not recommend it to anyone unless the…

What’s your stance on Dual licensing? I honestly have had mixed Opinions on this, but I finally settled on Dual licensing and/or BSL 1.1 as a nice compromise. I think open source d…

I’m working on a Kotlin Framework, more like a collection of small, modular libraries that can be used for both server side and android. https://www.slatekit.com My goal is a simpl…

Hey everyone, what do think of open-source projects adopting the BSL ( Business Source License) with "Additional Use Grants" to allow production use for educational, non-profit, pe…

I’m not too familiar with ruby but I’m curious why they didn’t just add optional types after the variable names. Such as in Kotlin, Scala, Swift like “var x:Int”? I thought this is…

The Scala language is great but the ecosystem sacrifices simplicity for pure FP. Scala has always suffered from complexity problems due to libraries. For example, using Http/JSON/D…

Focus on no-code, low-code approaches and tools to building a product to validate a problem and your solution to it. For example, use a “no code” approach first and simply use tool…

Accounts (I believe ) are similar to email addresses. So it's like having an account userX@gmail.com and trying to migrate that to userX@yahoo.com. Essentially the account is tied …

Modular Monoliths would be a healthy middle-ground between monoliths and micro-services. My comment on the same topic of modular monoliths is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/ite…

Like many things in life, there are no absolutes. So rather than going to opposite ends of the spectrum, check out modular monoliths. This approach is a nice balance (IMHO), since …

I agree with almost everything you're saying. I'll just add that while Scala missed it's opportunity with Android, the big problem has always been a borderline dogmatic approach to…

What are the pros/cons of using a custom built language/parser such as this(or others like googles gRPC IDL, etc), versus simply creating a DSL(Domain Specific Language) using an e…
