#2Re: Curated list of Scala frameworks, libraries and software
#3This list would be a ton more useful if there were some metrics or indications for which libraries were included and why. Just as good, which were purposefully not included. And again, why.
This is pretty much the reason folks go with full stack frameworks fairly often. Trying to determine which of the testing modules to pair with which authentication module and which ... is annoying.

Agreed, it's pretty much the opposite of "curated" as it stands, especially since it's hard to believe the creators of the list studied carefully the sources of all these frameworks in order to determine their awesomeness.

I eagerly await the day when the 'curated' buzzword is no longer with us.

A number of projects on the list (e.g. Blueeyes and Jerkson) are not even maintained any more.

The list is open source and community driven. It means that everyone can improve it and suggest edits. There has already been 19 pull requests with additions and deletions.
Currently the list is just a work in progress, but I am certain that after several iterations of pull requests it will be up to date and useful.

And "awesome".

#9I wish people would stop creating scala libraries and frameworks, it just fragments the java community. Scala was a short term hack to fill in the gaps until Java has lambdas. Java does now and there's no need to keep scala separate, the syntactical sugar to remove some of the boilerplate to java is just not worth the fragmenting effect. We've seen much the same thing with python 2 and python 3, which differ in ways similar to java. We need to delete scala and delete python 3 and all get back to solving real problems.

If you think this is true and not just trolling, you are extremely ignorant about Scala's history, Scala's aims and Scala's features. Scala is so much more than a better Java, this statement is beyond ridiculous.
