The crimson financial assurance I think it was? Probably my fave python bit

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.

Happened in 2019 though

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?

Understandable soldering bollocks

Yes this would make sense

Yeah idk, I think it’d happen near the solstice at ‘night’ when sun doesn’t really set but yeah I guess it’d never be perfectly horizontal and I don’t live in the Arctic circle myself so have never seen it. Maybe it’s all a big hoax, who can say

Well the sun will move horizontal to the horizon near the Arctic circle during summer. So… I mean, still Alaska

Alaska, it says in the post

Philosophy is in entirely the wrong place for some reason. Should be slightly to the right of maths.

The downvotes are probably because of the annoying thorn usage. It’s disruptive to reading and a gratuitous irritant to discover in what’s otherwise a perfectly cromulent post

Halfway to a great comment there but it fizzled out a bit

peach, plum and cherry get along well

Quite. You don’t need an IDE to have a compiler lol

I do, I just use abstractions and metaprogramming layers to do so more efficiently. Sounds like your workflow could use improving
