Chisel picked up Scala 3 support in 7.0.0 released last September (https://github.com/chipsalliance/chisel/releases/tag/v7.0.0), right now they cross-compile between Scala 2 and 3 but from what I heard they should eventually move to Scala 3 only to start taking advantage of new features like named tuples (https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/other-new-featu...).

Thanks for open-sourcing this! Roughly, what's the performance overhead from running code under hermit? I'm wondering if this could be used for doing benchmarking with less variance on non-deterministic platforms such as the JVM (I assume hermit is "deterministic enough" that the JIT and GC threads of the JVM will run the same code on every execution?)

It's coming to Scala too: https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/other-new-features/expl...

What are the main differences with last year's course ? Also can we expect http://course18.fast.ai/part2.html to be updated in the near future ?

> Is there a runtime lib? That includes e.g. Scala collections for the browser for example?
Pretty much all Scala code compiles with Scala.js, that includes the Scala standard library, as well as part of the Java standard library that has been reimplemented in Scala.
> How many kilobytes?
Scala.js does whole program optimization and dead code elimination, so there's not a single number that can be given here, you pay for what you use.

Meltdown also affects some ARM chips according to ARM itself: https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
Comment · 8 years ago
According to ARM yes, but only on a few architectures: https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update (Meltdown is CVE-2017-5754 and is responsible for Variant 3 and Variant 3a). See also https://github.com/marcan/speculation-bugs/blob/master/READM... which tries to summarize every known attack/platform/mitigation.

> creator of Scala, and possibly also involved in SBT
Martin has never worked on sbt. sbt started as a community project and is now maintained by Lightbend, which Martin co-founded.

I'll be impressed the day this is turned on by default, or at least proposed as an option to the user after installation :).

How open is this going to be? Will it be based on a protocol implementable by other editors, akin to the Language Server Protocol (https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol) ?

you might want to give sbt 1.0 a try, it features better incremental compilation support: https://developer.lightbend.com/blog/2017-04-18-sbt-1-0-road...

The latest spec for 2.12 is available at http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/spec/2.12/

The whole point of monads (and most other typeclasses) is that they're an abstraction. If you use a type constructor then you cannot generalize your function to work with any kind of monad, see for example the definition of `mapM` in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.1.0/docs/src/GH... which uses `return`
