Do you know the story behind Lichess, the second-largest chess platform with 5.2 million games a day? It's an open-source hobby project by one man (with a little help from the community)! Incredible job! 👏 And guess what? The backend is written in Scala ♥️ #lichess #chess #scala

The functional family just got bigger, and with it, our collective understanding of FP grows. This means more people will be ready to dive into awesome languages like Haskell, Scala, F# or OCaml! 🙌 #gleam #functionalprogramming #erlang #haskell #scala #fsharp #ocaml

No pressure kid. You don't have to be an engineer 🤣 #computerengineeringforbabies

Is Scala difficult to learn❓ I believe that F[_] might be the reason many people think Scala is hard. Simply put, the idea behind F[_] is that you should not force programmers to use your preferred async system. This is great for library developers, but many apps adopt this highly abstract way of programming. In reality, there is usually no reason to switch from one effect system to another. In our projects, we chose cats effect IO. We use it directly, avoiding unnecesarry abstraction. The result? Super simple and clean code, even for newcomers who have no prior experience with Scala. Not caring about all the effect system bounds is liberating. #scala

I'm not generally a fan of dependency injection frameworks, but I must admit that a zero-cost, compile-time, and type-safe library that also supports Scala 3 sounds pretty damn amazing! #scala3 #dependencyinjection #autowire

Some projects are so ahead of their time that you can't help but doubt their success, yet you follow them closely because of the people behind them. Paul and Rúnar once wrote a fantastic book on the Scala language, often nicknamed the Red Bible. Now they're involved in @unisonweb, a project that might not click on the first try, but you should definitely keep an eye on it. #scala #haskell #functionalprogramming #microservices
