I won’t argue that isn’t true. I’m just saying beam is a value prop that speaks to me. Jvm isn’t, but objectively is for sure.
Could you please explain your point of view more clearly? It seems you presume other people should not find the Scala language interesting because you do not.
Not at all. Tongue was firmly in cheek. I work with jvm professionally. I was specifically trying to clarify that I find the beam vm exciting but not jvm and was therefore just kidding around when I made the first comment. Not gate keeping at all. Like whatever you please.
