@volpegabriel87 I opened a draft PR but then forgot all about it github.com/lampepfl/dotty…

Does anyone know if it's planned for #Scala 3 to have support for -Ywarn-value-discard? That's probably the biggest blocker for FP applications. I'm aware about the ongoing work on linter features, but unclear whether that work includes this. github.com/lampepfl/dotty…

We're happy to say, 47 Degrees is now officially a part of @Xebia, a global I.T. consultancy! Our team will serve as a new pillar of Authority at Xebia, continuing our focus on Scala, Kotlin, and other Functional Programming services. The story: 47deg.com/blog/47-degree…

@jk_mcclellan Like Christmas in a glass. Raisins, star anise, cinnamon, walnuts, marzipan, oranges... a beautiful dram.

@cbirchall How was it?

お晩です

@oblackwood13 It’s a present I received 3 weeks before my birthday. I lasted a whole week before opening it 😇

@cbirchall Celebrating something special?

Quick, hire Amina before someone else snaps her up!

@sihil @Sherbet_Noin @cantlin @theefer @gdndevelopers This is a travesty, please rectify immediately, but at least it’s triggered a lot of familiar faces to gather on one thread. Hi everyone!👋

@Sherbet_Noin @cantlin @theefer @gdndevelopers I think the whole point was that they were going to sell the domain. But for £millions to a pudding company. So I suspect even if we band together it will be out of our price range.

The Guardian link shortener domain is offline - is that forever @gdndevelopers or an accident?

@a_suenami MSPはまだ本番で使う機会なかったけど、最近気になって調べた結果をまとめて社内発表しました。資料はこちらです slides.com/cb372/staged-p…

がくぞさんにMSP（Multi-Stage Programming）というもの教えてもらって以来興味はずっとあるんだけど、忙しいのと難しいので全然学習が進んでないので型強者とメタプロ強者を集めてすえなみチャンスの機運です

I’m likely to be as silent over there as I have been over here recently, but anyway... @cb372@mastodon.social

@SethTisue @posco @tpolecat @kubukoz I spent a little time looking into this, and it’s mostly good news 47deg.com/blog/using-sca…

Interested in learning how to write an @ApacheSpark app using #Scala 3? The latest post from @cbirchall provides an awesome walkthrough of the process. Read it here: 47deg.com/blog/using-sca… @scala_lang

@eed3si9n Remember my trolling talk where I took that SLIP to its logical conclusion and added json literals to the language? Those were the days!

@rtyley @guardian Wooo! Congratulations

so pleased I just got promoted to the new role of Principal Developer at the @guardian! Many thanks to everyone who helped me through the interview process 🤗

@volpegabriel87 Congratulations!

Friends, we got married! 💍 🇩🇰

@philwills I’ve used pg-promise and it did the job. Named parameters in queries are quite handy

Node using friends: do you have preferred ways of talking to relational dbs? Also, are there things you've tried which were not fun?
