Does anyone know a mnemonic for remembering whether I should import JavaConverters._ or JavaConversions._?

conversion = implicit conversion, converter = extension method

Thank you! Maybe I can remember the first one, at least...

The not-deprecated one (and as of Scala 2.13 it's scala.jdk.CollectionConverters)
-
(oh, sorry, can't read) you were asking for a mnemonic... maybe... conversion sounds like coercion, which sounds like implicit conversion.

First, they said Java was good for app-lets; then they recoiled, and said it was good for serv-lets; actually, what it's good for is toy-lets.

Marc Millstone at PNW Scala back in 2013 (at which you spoke) offered the mnemonic I use but sadly I've forgotten the original cute rhyming wording. It boils down to avoiding the one that rhymes with "perversions."

I have fond memories of that event, though I'm not sure I saw that talk... but are you sure it wasn't 2014 I came?

I gave up. The new scala.jdk.CollectionConverters is much easier to remember.

"JavaConversions" do implicit conversion. "JavaConverters" give you tools which convert. Even easier mnemonic: literally never import JavaConversions. Done. :-)

I had remembered a tweet you had about this a few years on doing exactly this and didn't question it. Ha. JavaConversions is also deprecated I believe
