    Scala Center Advisory Board planning

  • From what I can tell looking back, it seems the Scala Center made a conscious decision to back BSP in sbt here. This makes absolutely no sense to me seeing that the people in that conversation seemed to advise against it. Since then Bloop seems outdated in terms of Scala version, dependencies, etc. There is a bit of activity but no active development. With other tools relying on it and it providing an easy way for new tools to come about, it seems totally irrational that the Center wouldn't continue development of Bloop and instead back sbt when Bloop is their own project.

  • bloop

    Bloop is a build server and CLI tool to compile, test and run Scala fast from any editor or build tool. (by scalacenter)

  • Jorge Vican had finished some work on this in the past, but this feature was abandoned (for now). As u/tgodzik has pointed out, there is not enough interest for this in the community (thanks for replying btw.).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
