We'd all be better off with less rants and more compassion for each other & their work.

fs2 3.11.0 is out with a brand new hashing package. Read about it here: github.com/mpilquist/blog…

We are delighted to welcome Zainab Ali as a new community representative on the Scala Center’s advisory board! She will be serving alongside Eugene Yokota — both are voting members of the board. Learn more here: scala-lang.org/blog/2024/03/1…

@runarorama Reminds me of pairing with @pchiusano on fs2. Tempted to write a Scala version of Orderator. Will share if I do!

I love the format of this, where one person tries to write something useful using a library, with guidance from the library author

New blog post - Optimizing Functional Walks of File Trees: github.com/mpilquist/blog…

💖 I'm sponsoring creativescala because Scala is the best programming language out there and I want more people to learn about it. github.com/sponsors/creat…

@gcdaii Thank you, I hope you enjoy it!

@mpilquist Wow! How generous of you! I bough this amazing book already.

Happy to announce that I'll be donating all personal royalties from the sale of Functional Programming in Scala to the Scala Center. manning.com/books/function…

@agileSeong Skunk has a much, much better developer experience. It’s also cross platform and avoids jdbc cruft. If using Postgres, I’d definitely use Skunk. Then I’d use Doobie for any non-Postgres use cases. Both are great.

@mpilquist How would you compare Skunk with the other library starting with ‘D’?

Skunk 0.6.0-RC1 is out, featuring unified twiddler syntax: github.com/typelevel/skun…

📣Deal of the Day🛒 Make your code easier to test & reuse, simpler to parallelize, & less prone to bugs! Harness the power of functional programming with Scala: mng.bz/011J @mpilquist #fp #JVM #programming #scala3 #scaladeveloper

The second edition is almost 200 grams heavier than the first one, which absorbed so many of my tears!

@velvetbaldmime Are we past “built on k8s” yet?

I strongly believe our industry will mature to the point of putting "made with Rust" below feature list (or at least not in the tagline), at some point in the future. This is what technological optimism is all about.

Functional Programming in Scala 2nd Edition is in print! Huge thanks and congrats to @mpilquist for updating the whole book and converting all the code to Scala 3. I'm told there's a 45% discount if you use the code pbpilquist, until May 24. manning.com/books/function…

@baldram @hmemcpy Truth!

@hmemcpy @mpilquist The cover was almost grey by a hair's breadth 🤣

The final version of the Functional Programming in Scala, 2nd edition (aka, the Red Book) by @mpilquist is now available! manning.com/books/function…

@panggi @runarorama @pchiusano Thanks!

Congrats @mpilquist @runarorama @pchiusano for final version of The Red Book second edition 🎉
