I went to a Scala meetup yesterday. I was surprised they work so little with the REPL.

borkdude08:10:23

They tended to write tests to try their code.

Is the repl cumberso,e and awful?`

chedgren08:10:41

I got hooked on repls through matlab.

gjnoonan08:10:43

@borkdude: That sounds so alien now 😕

chedgren08:10:23

doesn't it. The Mathworks term for having a repl is "explorative computing" or something like that.

chedgren08:10:47

There's a term that needs a laptop sticker

Im having a little bit of a hard time getting my head around client-side auth (hello.js / firebase etc..) ... if this happens fully on the client, how do handle the server-side trust. e.g. you auth with github client side, and then you tell me that your matt / github but I have to trust this somehow

borkdude09:10:21

They have a better repl called Ammonite

borkdude09:10:40

but I tried it: it's still slow and code reloading still doesn't work as expected without the use of JRebel

jaen09:10:54

@nowprovision: you should probably get some sort of token out of that (oAuth2 token in case of Github) and you could then use it server side to check the identity (for eg. by calling Github API with this key)

jaen09:10:01

This is the general idea at least, I think

Bit late to the party: I’m running El Capitan on my mid-2012 Macbook Air and it works fine. There were some minor problems with homebrew and permissions but nothing that couldn’t be fixed by a quick google search.

borkdude10:10:00

@martinklepsch: How much memory do you have in the MBA? I also have an MBA but I found it was much slower on the release before El Capitan (whatever its name was)

martinklepsch10:10:08

@borkdude: 8gb, I made a fresh install with El Capitan and it def. felt snappier but I’m not sure how much of that you can attribute to the different OS version

borkdude10:10:23

@martinklepsch: OK, mine has only 4GB, it seems in newer versions of OSX they assume 8GB.

martinklepsch10:10:01

yeah wouldn’t surprise me too much
