... and value types! Excited as well for the future of the JVM and of Scala.
I'm excited about #Scala3. I'm excited about Loom. I think that Scala 3 running on Loom will be the closest I'll get to a "gamechanger" to my everyday work in the next 10-15 years.

They're important, but I wouldn't quite put them in "gamechanger" territory (at least, not for most of the things I do...)

I've been out of the Scala world for the past four years... what are the gamechangers in
#Scala3? -
Lots of new features, but notably, more principled metaprogramming, more ergonomic implicits, a more capable and fully-sound type system, cleaner syntax, theoretically fewer corner-cases.

Interestingly,
@djspiewak said that Loom is not ambitious enough and it's authors claim it's not possible to do things that Cats Effect, Monix and ZIO are already doing. It might still prove itself useful in Scala effect systems if low level primitives are exposed in the API. -
I'm curious, Jon, as to what about Loom you would consider to be a game changer for your everyday work? Or, more relevantly, what does it change that you can't already achieve today?

@propensive committed to scala 10 years ago, maybe even before. Also scala to me is on the edge of PL research while also being kind of industry friendly. IMHO It’s in a very sweet spot. Plus with native and js branches in the future might be more than everywhere - Show replies
