I had to work with Scala in one class in college and my goodness did I absolutely hate it. I didn't know you could make Java worse, but they found a way.

Nothing against the people making tutorials ofc, I just hated the language.

I used to be very fond of Scala 10-15 years ago.

I also had to move on for professional reasons and haven't kept up for a long time.

I am very surprised that there is not much traction anymore for Scala. I see about 10x more Clojure news or projects on Github so it is not just about the JVM...

Could someone point to why?

  • This is very cool, I've never heard of Scastie, I'll need to take a closer look at that. I created a similar platform for Python (actually submitted to HN earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49083146)

  • It was a pet project of mine back in 2013 [0]... revived it (with a bit of help from Claude) and made it updated to Scala 3. Feedback welcome!
