That support is the biggest source of alternative code paths and polyfills in our codebase. The polyfills and other alternative implementations we need to support ES 5.1 include: Math.fround to su...

So! It's been ages! For releases, 2024 was my 'lost' year as I slogged through the surprisingly hard problem of building a component UI system from scratch. But I'm pleased to announce a raft of new releases. If you want to do some weird stuff with #Scala, look no further.. 🧵

What's the value proposition of Scala? You pay x1.5, but you get x3 output. You get 1/10 of the talent pool but you run 1/50 of the interviews. You can't grow as fast as with Java but you can do much more with much less. And the cost of running a company (e.g. processes, communication) grows with a number of employees. So yeah, you won't build another Google with just Scala. But you can't definitely build a lot.

Yesterday I deployed the new Scaladex API, which you can use to get the list of all Scala projects and artifacts, filtered by Scala version, or platform: JVM, Scala.js, Scala Native, or sbt and Mill for plugins. Check it out here: index.scala-lang.org/api/doc…
