FP-ers in @scala_lang, what feature do you miss the most? Comment if sth else. Please RT (I don't have enough followers to make a statistic)

The features I miss most are much more basic than that. https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/1tijwv/a_review_by_edward_kmett_of_functional/ … This is most accurate, but incomplete.

Only thing clearly articulated there is lack of TCO. And there's a hint at slow compile times. Both mentioned in this poll or comments.

Some of them are just bugs. Bugs not being addressed for years is a great pain! But I wanted to focus on missing language features here.

Well, bugs that will never be fixed because they can't. For example, you will never get type-inference, or use monads, or...

Most of type inference bugs I report seem fixable to me. I bet JVM will eventually get TCO. But I'm not recommending anyone to wait for that

I have never seen Scala type-inference work in any practical way. No type has been inferred that I could not trivially do myself.

That very much matches my experience, but is not the same as saying it CAN'T be fixed.

I am extremely skeptical that it can. It would be revolutionary.
