What went wrong?

>>59103170
When they started a second compiler without finishing the first.

>>59103170
it's a worse haskell

Every faggot and his dog on /g/ can at most write baby's first fizzbuzz. While other people actually get real work done in Scala.

twitter adopted it

Hilarious how all the answers so far are right...

>>59103170
The creator is German. Germans are bad programmers.

>>59104222
In general, you're right. Politics and corporate culture are kind of discouraging everything about IT and software development.

Scala is the best language that will get you a job.

what about Go, Clojure, Erlang?

With Go, you have goroutines, which are fine for most purposes and scale well in big systems.

But for Scala, you have Akka actors that also implement a CSP, or you can use one of the shitton of Scala collections that accept concurrency, also Scala structures are by default inmutable which makes working on concurrent system easier to design and IMO help produce cleaner code (something desirable for anyone who has ever seen an application vomiting promises everywhere)

wew

>>59106016
Why not just use Elixir if you really want immutability and concurrency, then?

Apart from legacy support and/or third party libraries, I don't see why anyone would choose Scala over Go. Go routines and Channels are excellent, good for general purposes, and are simple implementations that can scale incredibly well as you have stated.

>>59106346
JVM is fine and much lighter than people think. The actual JVM without all the extra stuff Oracle packs in is actually only 2.3MB iirc.

In the era of Docker containers and microservices, I agree that JVM feels a little bit redundant. Easily reproducible environments that can be effectively scaled and deployed kind of negates a lot of the advantages of cross-platform support. In this regard, a compiled language like Go wins again.

Copy Haskell kill any real world use and make community elitist assholes.

It didn't go wrong. It's running "the cloud" and more.

Which is more than practically any other recent language has achieved - never mind a language not backed by a major corporation.

>>59104333
It's a joke. I'm sorry if I offend anyone.
It's just the most visible German programmers online are usually incompetent assholes.
Lennart. His Red Hat cronies. Drepper. Suckless' team.
The less assholish ones are also not so great. Gottschling and Iglberger wrote libraries no one uses and they pretend there's no competition. Bunch of fakers.

Let's not forget Jörg Schilling and probably any cryptodude ever.

>>59103170
They fell for the functional meme.

>Debian
Almost forgot the famous /u/cbmuser. I legitimately think he got some form of autism.

>>59113404
haven't all people seriously using Debian?

>>59113444
I don't get you. /u/cbmuser is a mentally-ill Debian contributor who likes to hang around at reddit.

>>Best implementation of concurrency and parallel programming of any mainstream language.
F# is way better for that my man

>>59113487
Well, Ian was a mentally-ill Deb[missing] contributor who loved to hang himself.

Actually, Deborah left him, so it's called [missing][missing].

>inb4 edgy

>>59113487
>>59113631
But for the record, never heard of /u/cbmuser.
Pays not to visit /r/technology, I guess.

>>59113590
Which is why everyone is using Scala (Akka, Spark, ...).

It's only a conspiracy against F#, right?
