#ScalarConf #Scala
I'm in Warsaw for #ScalarConf 😍
I know you come here for professional, grown-up stuff, but you're taking all of this way too seriously.
Articles talking about “direct style” in #Scala should definitely answer this question for `scala.concurrent.Future`

“Programming still sucks”
A bit cynical for my taste, but you can tell this article wasn't written by #AI.
Hey everyone, apparently it takes $20,000 and zero developers to copy/paste code from GCC & LLVM. That code was already available, ofc, so that money is for whitewashing the OSS licensing and copyright away. Exciting times!

Mateusz talking about the "standard library of macros" and it's music to my ears. #ScalarConf #Scala
Scala 3.8 is exciting because the standard library was finally enhanced for Scala 3 specific features. For instance, “explicit nulls” are finally usable for me.
First screenshot is Scala 3.3, second is Scala 3.8. Compare the types.
Integrating more AI into #Firefox is good, esp. if they put users in control 🤷♂️
Deciding to not implement something as a matter of principle is a political decision. E.g., it shows that Vivaldi, a bloated browser built on top of US tech (Chromium), is European (if you can't innovate, regulate).
In the #Zed editor, one problem I have is that symbol search isn't working unless you open a first file (Markdown). I'm assuming this may be because it starts LSP processes lazily, on opened files, but I'd rather have this initiated eagerly, per project.
Anyone know anything about it?
Spring is here, have you noticed it?
