Do your know that you have done the impossible and single-handedly revived Scala? It was slowly dying two years ago, with all that Dotty uncertainty and Typesafe->Lightbend transition.

Then you came and showed us that Scala can be productively used beyond JVM. A new hope appeared, Scala-native was inspired by your example, and Dotty was upgraded from a purely academic exercise to a viable pragmatic way to Scala 3. The attitude was "if Scala.js guys did it, so can we".

So thank you, from me and all Scala hackers out there. Martin owes you a beer. :)
