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.

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?
I'm mostly looking forward to the reduction in obfuscation that comes with async APIs. I used to write async code using plain Threads because I didn't worry about scalability, and it was easier to understand. And a decade later, it kind of still is.

You should play around with Cats Effect/Monix/ZIO. They're all an order of magnitude easier to understand than plain threads, and they entirely remove the async problem.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think what I'm getting at is I don't really see that there's any obfuscation any longer. These frameworks really solve the problem.

Ok, I should. My dependencyphobia is mostly what's put me off.
