You all crack me the fuck up.

Once again, Scalaz has improper focus on it for calling to attention problems that Scala could potentially face in the future. Meanwhile, a leader of TL doubles down on banlists for Lambdaconf attendees: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiIlXYEWAAAJOpo.jpg:large …

There’s a lot of bad blood between people, I spoke twice at LC so I might be on some list somewhere... I’m not sure what it has to do Lightbend or moving Scala towards Haskell

"Scala is embroiled in the US's Culture Wars" is yet another very complicated problem. The only relation to the topic is that Scalaz and Typelevel differ on both language design and politics, but to me that's an historical accident or social phenomenon, not a technical link.

This crux of the problem - perpetuating tribalism through selective blindness. The industry, and leaders in Scala OSS, have given their feedback. Many are in support of Scala 3, many are not. There seems to be obtuseness towards critique, and asymmetric focus on real issues.

You focus on Scalaz, while today, a leader of TL endorsed blacklisting attendees in the community of certain conferences. You bet on Tony's case, while Adriaan + Odersky tells OSS developers to essentially fuck off if they suggest changes to the language

Here is a good faith statement. With all of that effort that the scala circus has put into high-school politics, they could have instead learned to write code. Scala is a waste of fucking time. Except for the funny bits. They rival Woodhey.

NGL the woodhey bit gave me a chuckle. Wonderful stuff
