Functional Programming brings some sanity in this quick&dirty IT world. Scala3 (ZIO, KYO), Learning Rust & Ocaml. Constantly learning. Fighting entropy. X: @scalajos mastodon: @fpjos@fosstodon
A language might be brilliant but community health is the most important factor to its survival/growth (see python, rust even java), and right now scala steering committee and Odersky does not care at all about it

more and more like this; to my great despair because I love the language and invested so much of my time in it. Still hoping things could improve so many great contributors who left would come back but I'm afraid it'll go the haskell way (extreme ivory tower syndrome).

I love the language which is beautiful and incredibly powerful, invested a lot on it, know how much better than anything else it is on the jvm... But I seriously ponder to move to other stacks (mainly ocaml and rust) where community steering seems much less ivory-tower inclined

same here, maybe it's unfamiliarity, time will tell, but I find kyo effect system easier to understand and to read

Guido van Rossum acted as a wise leader, welcoming a truly diverse community. Does scala leadership? Currently this is not the impression it gives. Continue to deny the discomfort would be a grim and fatal answer. Up to you Mr Odersky, choose a direction so we can decide our fate

Langton, Degoes, Brasil are also taking some distance. Sectarian behavior from Scala Center actively boycotting ZIO&KYO (fear of concurrents, maybe just childish behavior ?) is so unhealthy. They act in a self destructive manner & in the same time would deny any problems. When will this change ?

And I think M. Odersky has a huge responsibility on what's happening to the community right now
