Scala is such a great programming language for coding with AI, I have been meaning to write about it but I'm busy making progres...

Scala has long been a magnet for innovation and, although that's actually desirable, the consequent fragmentation of the ecosystem is a major issue for library authors. And yes, Kyo worsens it. It's time for a proper solution! Forget F[_], meet kyo-compat: write your library once, support ZIO, Cats Effect, Future, Ox, Twitter Future, and Kyo 🪄 ✅ Zero overhead: every method is inline and lowers to the backend's own primitive. No typeclass dispatch ✅ No degraded features: capabilities like tracing work as if using the underlying libraries directly ✅ Fully isolated: each artifact depends only on its target library. No Kyo runtime, zero dependencies ✅ SBT plugin: cross-publishes every backend from one source tree One source. Every stack.

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…
