babel VS Scalaz

I own created a Scala i18n library and (after many failed attempts) am finally happy with how it is taking shape. The core idea is to leverage compile-time safety when dealing with i18n files. This is achieved by decoding the translations into case classes and by providing a type safe alternative to printf/MessageFormat which are usually used for String value injection. I consider the library to be highly experimental; the load module in particular is likely to undergo significant changes, error messages and documentation are to be improved. So I wouldn't exactly recommend adopting it just‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­yet, but am very keen for feedback. https://github.com/slozzer/babel

I'm sorry, but have you ever done functional programming for a real company, like in a functional programming language like Haskell, Scala, or F#? Have you ever used Scala cats or scalaz? Have you ever learned category theory and how to apply its abstractions in software? Listen u/judethedude2106 this person hasn't gone as far down the functional programming rabbit hole as I have. Beyond learning the basics like the difference between pure and impure functions, what are closures, what higher order functions are and the most common ones like .map, .filter, and .flatmap, the immutable collections like immutable linked lists and trees, and what a Monad is and common monads like those used for futures/promises, async programming, and Option (Some or None, which is used instead of null checking), the more advanced functional programming stuff like category theory based abstractions are totally useless for real jobs and is just a giant time suck. Don't waste years on functional programming, spend at most a few months on it and no more.

If I managed to gain you interest you can take a look at one of the following libraries like cats, scalaz for scala and vavr for java which contain type class definitions and implementations for common types.

I’ve specifically had 2 job offers internally at my company because of this language. First with Cats and Scalaz and now with ZIO, Scala has taken the best parts of Haskell, the best parts of Scala, and made it really nice to work with. You can barely see the OOP leftovers.
