#Spotify has donated €20,000 to #Typelevel 👏 — they're using & contributing to #Scala and in my eyes, it gets extra points for being an EU company, besides being the best music streaming service 😉 typelevel.org/blog/2025/02/21/spoti…

Tapir uses Sttp, part of the official Scala Toolkit, so it's basically the standard. I think others should use them for unification. Maybe basic interfaces, enums, and URI handling could be a separate, lightweight Sttp module if there isn't one already. cc: @warski.org

So according to what you've said, this is probably the best answer for this Reddit thread. Scala is a Java of FP.

[2/2] You can in Scala both: ```scala val isEven = (i: Int) => i % 2 == 0 // Function ``` and ```scala def isEvenDef(i: Int) = i % 2 == 0 // Method ``` But functions have some extra capabilities as mentioned in part one. Also, functions are evaluated when defined, and methods each time.

[1/2] Hmm. Don't get it. Functions are first-class citizens in Scala. You assign them to variables. Also, you can pass them as args, return from other functions, supports HOF, can compose'em using 'andThen`, `compose`, etc. Methods (def) are different from functions (val). youtu.be/mqJ1W6w5ZZM?...

Looking at Scala 3, it continues to be innovative, and new features are constantly being added to the language. So, jokes aside, what's the reasoning behind the claim that F# is like Java 21 while Scala is like Java 8? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Yes. If you wanna change your thinking and get transferable skills, give #Scala a shot. Don't just skim it. Really focus and discover the functional programming world. Including also two posts from @rockthejvm.bsky.social.

So he got 0.2 s with Sbt, faster than F#, but that's not really the point. Funny thread, indeed.

Double that idea, to not miss #Scala posts like this one: bsky.app/profile/scal...

This is a great idea, for such as Scala Space, etc.

Hey, awesome idea and works great. Have you considered including the "Scala3" hash tag as well?

Marcin Szałomski @baldram.github.io · 12/12/2024

With the new #Scala 3.6 release, it is worth reminding that... 👌 #Scala3

Named Tuples, so much awaited feature. The for-comprehension improvements and ability to start with an alias. Finally. Also, clause interleaving for the path-dependent API creators looks interesting. 🥳 #Scala

Have you tried playing with Magnum yet? I think that would be most practical - something that one can actually use in a real-world project. It's simple and straightforward too.

Neat option for devs - verify your Bluesky account using GitHub!
