Oh I'm completely serious. The joke is that everyone does it but everyone knows not to do it. I started doing it when I first ran into problems debugging actor contexts, and never stopped.
The good printlns become logs, obviously
Also it is literally the best language for refactoring. Omg. Anything is available -- macros that fold up so tight you can't see it's arse, compile type type witnesses for safe access to partial objects, fuckin' automatic restructuring of auto-generated code, at compile time, to regex hack in the easy fix for a hard problem. It just so flexible, and you can either use that to prevent bugs by making things stricter, or enable incredible things by doing mad unsafe shit (that's still safe, because you still have the compiler). Wow. What a language.
Oh man, I thought that was one of the classic jokes :'( I am out of touch
Yeah, every so often there's an article like this and tbh it always seems to boil down to 'i couldn't get a job in it' lol. Scala isn't Java or Go, it's never gonna have as many open roles as those sorts of languages. Doesn't feel to me like it's dying -- all the libs I depend on have been available for scala 3 for at least a couple of years now, all the ones that aren't already so feature complete as to warrant 'stable' status get regular updates. Kinda don't like ppl trash talking my favourite language NGL lol 😂
Wait, how do you debug your code?
Saw him do this live and he was predictably incredible
Not amongst serious people though. Shakespeare's life is well documented but rather dull. He just happened to be a terrific observer of human behaviour
One might argue that 'doing nothing' with land was an extremely good way of protecting it, but one would have to be talking to someone who was operating in good faith if they were to bother to do so...
They missed out the context code:
trait DoW { def length: FiniteDuration }
object Monday extends DoW { override def length = 24.hours }
...
implicit def toDoW(s: String): DoW = s match {
case "Monday" => Monday
...
}
var day: DoW = _
(Duration formatting and language identification are left as an exercise for the reader)

I just want to never have to hear about this cunt again. Is that why people like him?
