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.

Replying to @tomas_mikula @dibblego and
OK, fast compilation is not exactly a language feature, but I wanted to see how much pain it causes relative to language features.

I am of the opinion that you will never get fast compilation, for as long as the compiler is written in scala.

I don't care so much about compile times, and that's the main reason I'm asking. From results so far, it's bigger that the other 3 combined.

I don't care so much either. I care about fixability more so than current brokenness. Scala scores poorly on fixability.

Scala doesn't make a very strong promise of backwards compatibility, which increases it's fixability.

Sure, you can start all over again, with something completely different, and call it Scala. I am doubtful of this too.
