That's to bad. Yesterday I think I had the most fun intake I've had so far. They came up with some design problem, and I could sketch an architecture. I just found out the lead developer liked Clojure. So I go full clojure mentioning nginx-clojure and lucinia. Who knows I might actually get to write some Clojure during office hours some day.
@hobosarefriends what's the assignment?
The work doesn’t bother me as much as the frustration of how incompetent I seem to be in scala.
it's a popular language -- i still don't quite understand why, but it's useful to know it a bit
I read some of the Kafka source code, but find it hard to read. And I keep hearing there like many different things to do things. And cats seems a nice library to do typed functional programming.
Clojure and Rust also have that, in different degrees. Both not as OOP as Java, or as functional as Haskell.
i appreciated Scala until i found out about implicit parameters, then i completely bailed out of the language -- i could not accept such atrocities
it’s their only way to enable something like type classes afaik. but I don’t like how cluttered that looks in Scala anyway
Well.. I need to move towards the jvm somehow, and I didn’t really find clojure jobs, so scala/java/kotlin are my temporary alternatives.
Kotlin seems a great language. Scala has good parts too, but the community seems a bit divided over what exactly those are 🙂
I don’t think I know enough to have an opinion on the good parts of any of these languages 😅
when I did the Scala Coursera course, I solved some parts in Clojure, because that seemed easier than to fight the type system 😉
@hobosarefriends There’s also #other-languages for more complaining 🙂
@gklijs if you are using lacinia and you like spec you might be interested in our library to create automatically graphql schema from spec https://github.com/WorksHub/leona
Looks interesting, in my case most are subscriptions however, and I did not use spec and lacinia together (yet).
