    Discontinued A small and effective event-handling library for Scala

  • Note that it doesn't mean you need to write your whole library in Scala 2.11. You can write it in 2.13, but then your build script must have an option to compile it with 2.11. You can see for example how it is done in wire-signals, an event stream library I worked on (https://github.com/wireapp/wire-signals/blob/main/core/build.sbt). wire-signals was then used in Wire Android, an Android client for the end-to-end encrypted messenger, Wire. You can search for "wireSignals" in this Gradle script: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android/blob/develop/app/build.gradle (Wire Android is probably the biggest Android app ever written in Scala).
