  • Evolving Scala

    > 1) The language is too unstable

    Thankfully not anymore. They got their act together and have been maintaining compatibility since Scala 3.0.0 has been released in May 2021, which is almost 4 years and counting.

    https://github.com/scala/scala3/releases/tag/3.0.0

    Scala 3.x is to remain compatible for the whole 3.x series (think of semantic versioning). There's no Scala 4 (breaking with Scala 3) in sight.

    Also, Scala 3 and Scala 2.13 JARs are also compatible with each other, which helped with the transition.

    > 2) The tooling around it is not the best

    sbt may not be good. But Mill is much better than either Maven or Gradle. Especially Gradle. Bleep is also promising.

    Scalafmt is widely used and liked. Scalafix -- the linter/fixer -- is used a bit less, but still of a good quality.

  • About Scala-Native
    4 projects | /r/scala | 13 Apr 2023
    Scala Native has much more control on how the Scala AST is compiled, and can easier workaround platform limitations, eg. lazy vals in Scala 3 required reflection config for Native Image (see this and that), while in Scala Native we could mitigate problems with unsupported usage inside in other ways within the compiler plugin.
