Scala kotlin war?
I think one can live with Kotlin. Scala is too obtuse and Clojure is just bad and pays a heavy performance penalty when interacting with Java due to internal usage of reflection if no type hints are used. The only thing I'm missing in Kotlin are some metaprogramming facilities.

I'll bite: in what way is Scala obtuse?
(obtuse might be the wrong word; I'm not a native speaker)
In the small: http://www.wartremover.org/doc/warts.html (individually nothing prohibitive, but the sheer amount of caveats is frightening)
In the large: things like binary compatibility breaking between releases (note that this is on a different level from standard library incompatibilities, which are expected); not sure if this is an issue any more, I have last used it around 2009/2010.

They should redirect to https if they are accepting payment / donations. I've got the shapeless book and found it really good. Keen to read the Cats one now. Does anyone know where you can get a hard copy. ?
As for https---that's something we'll have to look into. Not sure what the situation is but I thought the Gumroad popup was over https.
This is awesome. Thanks guys!
