Typelevel and ZIO take completely different approach to certain things. Even if everyone would be holding hands and singing, they would still argue in discussions on GH.

Typelevel and Cats wants everything to be a pluggable library. Everything should be configurable, hardcoding things is avoided. You are in charge of every single effect.

ZIO is basically a type-safe, compile-time, IO-monad-based framework, managing error handling, side effects and dependency injection. It is opinionated, and libraries integrating with it share its opinions. Some people consider this a FP, type safe Spring Framework.

Both can be integrated if you know what you're doing. Both have plenty of people to push things forward. At this point history between JDG and TL is irrelevant to the community. People involved in past dramas still don't like each others but they don't interact with each other during development, so just don't use Twitter and you won't even notice.

Macbooks from 2019 have 4 thunderbolts 3 ports and 1 mini jack. And that's all.

If you want to power the device, you do it through a thunderbold. If you want to connect a USB that is not USB C, you have to use adapter and/or USB HUB. So you would have to connect to your USB through adapter/hub, and if for some reason whatever installer wouldn't support this you would be screwed (but I guess most of the time it would be doable, just inconvenient).

I am only able to download the abstract. Is there somewhere full content available?

Seeing how .Net is being sold to enterprises without such libraries I would say that they exist because business happily buys into any promise that something increases productivity even if that is just salesmen's lies. But it requires good salesmen not good engineers.

Why Java devs automatically assume that every new language is made to overthrow Java/C#? They might still to provide better development in a particular domain. Go or Python or JacaScript are good at rivaling Java at mainstream language, and so what?

I know people who would be sold on NO JEE, NO Spring, NO Hibernate. I am one of them. :)

2.14 was supposed to be a stepping stone between 2 and 3, released only so that migration could be easier. They skipped it because apparently source code differences between valid 2.13 and 3.0 aren't that great. From what I saw it is mostly about migrating macros, the rest most likely would still work.

Previous maintainer left EPFL so nothing was happening there. But Scala Center took over the project so they will start maintaining it. AFAIR snnouncement was on Gitter by the same guy who maintains Scala.js. I guess it will take some time for them to catch up with the rest.

More than 3 years. I've been using it for that long but it was pretty functional and full even 3 years ago.

> I use a low-end PC and can't possibly afford to run another Electron app

> That's why I created my own API request builder with pure JavaScript (I used Vue.js) + HTML + CSS

So... the only differences are not running this as a separate process and NIH?
