I was pointed out yesterday to scodec for #scala. It has some important things there that seem very useful and will likely use it.
It's just pretty sad that such a known, useful, stable library has most of the site with incomplete docs, broken links and incomplete released version numbers.
In general the official #scala API docs are very very lacking and generally suck.
Methods have barely any description on them. There are no examples in most methods to understand them. Important methods and collections lack explanation of their characteristics related to performance, runtime, O notations of each etc. Barely describe where each is more appropriate vs others, etc.
Holy cow, I enabled strict equality on #scala to see if it fixed my problems and now I have to manually add a "derives CanEqual" to every enum that I want to compare. Wth :aaaa: :welp: :wyd:
I'm reading this book on #Scala now and what can I say so far about the language, is that it can be summarized as ‘best effort to create a decent functional language given the limitations of JVM’. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13541678
Async/await in #TypeScript is essentially “direct style”. It will be interesting to see if Effect, a monadic effect system, will take off, as a case study for #Kotlin & #Scala — although for “direct style”, these have the advantage of context parameters.
#ScalaCLI v1.3.0 is out! We have added support for Scala Native 0.5.1, which will now be the default version used by the CLI on the --native platform. Regarding #Scala Native, take note that some tools which Scala CLI integrates with are not yet available on Scala Native 0.5.x.
After a solid month or two of engine improvements, my little #Scala ASCII paint app looks like it did before! 💪
However, all the UI stuff now runs in a subsystem and all the layers are nested under one key, making the app logic far, far simpler. New Indigo release coming soon...
