      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.

      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?

      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.

      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.

          It really doesn't. That's kind of my whole complaint about Loom. Literally the only *benefit* it brings to frameworks like Cats Effect is the ability to make some(!) hard-blocking on the compute pool a little less cataclysmic for users.

          I definitely get dependencyphobia, but the way I think about is this: every dependency you take on is a vote of confidence in the maintainers of that dependency to keep it alive, remain compatible, etc. Not all dependencies are created equal, and you judge by trust.

          That's a nice philosophy in many ways, but I don't like that it places such a burden of proof on OSS developers. I think too many projects don't get traction because the maintenance is too hard. But my problem is also my fault, here... Hence why I'm trying to fix it, too...
