Luckily I remembered that Cameramatiks in Edinburgh does on-site repairs. Took my #Vivitar28mm in, it disappeared round the back, tap tap tap, reappeared, all fixed. No charge, a smile and a little talk about not cross-threading filter holders!

So relieved I bought a roll of #Scala and a couple of rolls of an #Adox ISO 50 film in 135 for around £8 a roll!

They also has a #Pentax ESII in for £299. With fond memories of my Electro Spotmatic, I was quite tempted... not this time!

Hearing about the downtrend for Scala makes me wonder how many Scala developers are out there. The official Scala X account has ~30k followers. Is the actual number of developers more than this, or less? Do you have any tips? #scala #rust https://x.com/hmemcpy/status/1929867282269732906

IRS open-sourced its Direct File software and it is pretty great actually (check out the scala fact graph)

What's new in Ox 0.6.0 (safe direct-style concurrency and resiliency for #Scala on the #JVM)?

Firstly, Ox no longer uses preview JVM features, specifically StructuredTaskScopes and ScopedValues. Stabilization of these seems quite far off, and Ox now works with any JVM 21+.

Secondly, the `retry` API has been improved with more flexible schedules. They are composable & testable, which amounts to inspecting the list of intervals at which the operation might be triggered.

https://eed3si9n.com/sbt-1.11.1 #Scala

released sbt-ci-release 1.11.1, which fixes SNAPSHOT publishing to run `+publish`, as opposed to `publish`

Been playing around a bit with samply to fix some performance issues in Minart (especially polygon rasterization and convolutions).

Ended up making a bunch of things quite faster, so now my old 3D Stanford Bunny demo went from ~12 FPS to 20 FPS on my machine.

But, since I was able to also make convolutions faster, I can add two hackish depth of field passes while keeping the old performance numbers.

Huh! IRS Direct File is implemented in part in #Scala, both JVM and JS. https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file

@Bastacosi Una vergogna. Un'istituzione come la #Scala che si allinea a un clima pesante. E se è arrivata una precisa richiesta, la si respinge.

My preference order of #Scala build tools, for sometime, has been:

1. scala-cli
2. Mill
3. sbt

I upgrade as the need arises. The needs being:

1. I need something I can make in one module.
2. I need more modules, and I need plugins and I need code generation.
3. I need my employers to pay me.*

(* I have deep respect for sbt, it's brought us a long way, looking forward to v2! )

Gotta say: Mill's BSP server with Metals seems to be rock solid. Comparatively. At least for what I'm doing.

I'm still of the opinion that more #Scala people should use Mill. It's really good.

It would help level the playing field significantly if the big ecosystem players offered more support. (Lookin' at you, Typelevel. )

I’ve started noticing an interesting tendency. It’s been 9 years since I first touched #Scala, and this mug turned 7 this winter. For the first six years, the Scala logo on the mug was resilient to washing — but over the past year, it’s started to fade. Quite progressively. Just like my interest in Scala. So here’s the race condition: what will disappear first?

'Scala Days 2025 - Functional Programming And The Real World' by Darja at Scala Center

19 - 21 August, Lausanne, Switzerland
the program committee has announced the two-day, four-track program + workshops, keynotes, and train jam happening
https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2025/05/28/scala-days-2025-announcement.html #Scala

I opened reddit and there's good talking about #scala 3, I'm actually surprised .

https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/1kv6o12/does_your_company_start_new_projects_in_scala/

As much as I love all the improvements that come with Mill 1.0.0-RC1, I think we really fucked up the migration experience.

I'm really sorry about that! If you are in trouble when migrating your build from an older Mill version, please reach out and I (we) try to help you.
