While Kotlin offers improvements over Java, Scala's focus on immutability and functional programming can lead to more reliable and maintainable systems in the long run. It might be worth skipping the intermediary step and going straight to Scala for those benefits. #java #kotlin #scala @SoftwareMill

𝕏 just open-sourced another Scala library, but it's still on Scala 2.12! 🐦 As an early adopter, they've probably got a ton of legacy code and know how tricky Scala migrations can be. Great to see they're still committed to Scala after all these years! #scala #twitter #x #opensource

Even if you don't prefer direct-style Scala (i.e., function coloring is a feature for you, not a bug), I recommend watching a walkthrough video about the Ox library, grinded in the SoftwareMill. #scala3 #projectloom

Migrating to Scala 3 is much easier these days. Did you know that there's a compilation flag (-Ytasty-reader) that allows you to compile and use your Scala 3 libraries in a Scala 2.13 codebase, giving you access to new features? #scala3 👉

It's so convenient now to write simple scripts thanks to Scala 3, scala-cli, and Li Haoyi's os-lib. This particular script, for instance, simply created exact copies of a bank logo with different names. #scala3

Seriously, if you're a programmer, you should definitely try home row mods ⌨️ Ideally pair them with any keyboard with columnar layout (like the #Voyager). Trust me, your fingers will thank you. 👐 @dreamsofcode_io #coding #keyboards #lifehacks #typingtips

That's a very good take on the superiority of FP. It's important to remember that skill varies in any paradigm, but at least my experience suggests that strong programmers are more common in the functional community. 🤷‍♂️ #functionalprogramming

It's impressive to see so many new libraries being written directly in Scala 3! ❤️ Peloton, an actor library built for Cats Effect, is a great example. #peloton #scala3 #actors #cats

It begins innocently - as a simple regex. Then a quick pattern here, a minor tweak there. Over time, you're left with an indecipherable string of characters that no one can understand. Next time, consider using a parser! 💪 #scala3 #parsers
