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
#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.
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.
