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 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...
