I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it’s extremely good at everything. It’s extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It’s really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.

Been using ecosia as my main search engine for 4 years. I still use Google maps, Gmail, Calendar, Maps, YouTube/Music, mostly because too I’m lazy to switch to other products.

But yeah, fuck them.
