  • Scala Isn't Fun Anymore

    That's funny, because this is what I really like about Scala; how quick and easy it is to get a project started.

    > sbt new scala/scala3.g8

    will just create an empty project. If you don't even want to bother with a project, use use scala-cli or ammonite (http://ammonite.io/) to just start banging out code.

    Even the upgrading of a project from Scala2 to Scala3 is a breeze, thanks to very good backwards compatibility of new library releases.

    Scripting API is quite limited, so the third option. - reuse the ammonite scripts https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/Ammonite or look how this is implemented (using internal compiler API),

    Here's an example of a smaller project that added telemetry without suffering a fork:

    Scala with the Typelevel ecosystem. Stay on the jVM, but have a much more pleasant and robust experience, including a great REPL.

    If you are installing, and you are learning, I would also recommend ammonite as an easier REPL.
  • IPython as a System Shell
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Apr 2021
    I've been using amm on and off https://ammonite.io/#Ammonite-Shell

    pretty nice if you know scala, still have to use regular shell(s) so I do not forget them

  • A Lisp REPL as my main shell
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Feb 2021
    I've never tested Ammonite, only read the https://ammonite.io/#Ammonite-Shell, so I'm only guessing here.

    From what I understand, Ammonite was designed as a "readline shell" as I wrote in the article. It perpetuates this approach that everything is a command.

    The thesis of my article suggests we do the opposite: I'm suggesting to rethink shells by starting from the interface (here the SLY REPL) and then implement the shell features.

    In particular, it seems that Ammonite does not support back-references and I'm not sure it has an interactive inspector.

    While Ammonite seems to be a definite improvement over the _syntax_ of Bash, etc., I'm not sure it brings much novelty in terms of user interface. But again, I know very little about it so I may have missed some features :)

    I wonder what people think about Ammonite (https://ammonite.io/)?

    It's not Lisp but Scala so may not be the authors language of choice however it can be used as a Shell: https://ammonite.io/#Ammonite-Shell

    I am personally using it and compared to a classical shell like Bash it's really nice for more structured data related tasks (exploring some API, checking some data, creating a bunch of PRs at once, ...).

    It also makes use of Scala's adjustable syntax and functional concepts so you basically get shell piping but in a strongly typed fashion (e.g.
