For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to play a little with #scala3, migrated an old exercise I did from scala 2 to it. It's painful to use intellij in its current state, even using the eap plugin version or wtv it is. Seriously considering putting things back into scala 2, at least that works as expected in the IDE.
Problems include not autocompleting things, taking long time to show methods available, not showing inferred types, variables and types marked as not use when they are, etc...
@vascorsd Two years after release, the IntelliJ support is miles better but as you point out, definitely not there yet :( And yet I sometimes wish some of the more niche languages had the same level of support 🥲
@vladimir_lu Yes, all of that is true. Pretty sure the support right now is better than when scala 3 was released, and totally believe it can only get better from now on.
It's just really frustrating that it's like going back 10 years in IDE technology that existed working with so much effort and hard work put into it.
It was not that long ago that scala 2 actually stared working properly in a stable manner without any red lines, properly auto-completing and finding implicits correctly.
