I made a #Scala Crash Course that is especially well-suited for #JavaScript devs. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=-xRfJcwh… @traversymedia @stolinski @wesbos @syntaxfm

This is a heavy story about a brilliant Scala developer who put his life into his work. 💔 After many health and personal problems, he open-sourced his project for everyone. Let's help him find a new job or support his work! 🙏 #scala gist.github.com/japgolly/538…

I've been working/vibing on integrating scala-cli and Nix together, with granular dependencies (and not just a single non-cacheable blob of jars). So far the results are promising, and with some upstream changes it can only get better. github.com/scala-nix/scala-c…

Scala 3 introduces a lot of new tuple operations, some of which feel almost magical. Look at the apply method, which can resolve out-of-bounds error at compile time, or the head method, which returns an Int instead of an Option[Int]. #scala3

I am looking for a new contract as a Backend Engineer starting October 1st. I have 10 years of experience building scalable and robust systems. DM open.

Debunking Common Scala Myths 1. Hiring Challenge? Nope! This year, I interviewed companies building massive Scala teams (100s strong!): SwissBorg & SiriusXM with Typelevel Scala Databricks & Netflix for data engineering 2. Expensive Devs? Not True! As a recruiter (3 years at @ScalaJobsDev ), I've seen companies find Scala devs COST-EFFECTIVE. Their strong skills (compared to Java/Kotlin) lead to faster hiring and less interview time! 3. Stability Concerns? Unfounded! Scala 2.13 (released 5 years ago) is actively maintained. Scala 3 applications can leverage 2.13 libraries (Scala 3 uses the 2.13 standard library!). Even popular libraries like Typelvel Cats maintain backward compatibility (newest version works with the 2017 release!) Love Scala? Considering it? I've been working & hiring in Scala for 10 years. Reach out for advice! #Scala #developer

7th anniversary of the initial commit - the right time to publish 1.0.0! github.com/scalalandio/chimn…

Scala Native 0.5.0 has been released! The long await multithreading, initial 32-bit architectures support and many more are now available. See scala-native.org/en/stable/c… for more details

#scala people, please read! I recently took over the #scala Meetup #vienna (Austria/EU). In a perfect world, we'd meet once a month, but every two months is also a good start. This is your "CFP", please DM me! With a good line-up I can organize sponsors travel budget! Plz #RT!

I'm not a compiler guy, but I'm sure that an astonishing amount of work went into maintaining so many Scala versions at the same time with such strong guarantees. Four Scala versions: 2.12, 2.13, 3.3 and 3.4 released around the same time... Epic! 👏

We need more #Scala content creators. Welcome to the club @JulienTruffaut

update: after tons of fiddling and even more help from @WojciechM_dev (as well as other contributors to Scala Native), I'm able to make some "legit" games 😄 (which means the blocker is now my gamedev skill and not some software)
