Your “Scalawags Classic” lineup is: Josh Suereth, Dick Wall, Daniel Spiewak. They are not returnable for a refund.
- sick Dick’s sporting sick Yuletide gear
- Daniel's smoking a green-tipped electronic cigarette with his ear
- Daniel: have phones plateaued?
- Dick’s sporting a sick smartwatch, too
- who’s writing Scala code that runs on mobile?
- sigh, ProGuard. sigh, long compile times.
- “have you seen someone with an accent use Siri?”
- Josh predicts: in 2015 everyone will converse in SHA1
- Josh's kids got a children's version of Grand Theft Auto for Christmas
- Daniel plays video games blindfolded. Josh solders things while driving.
- get off Josh's lawn, snarky tweeters!
- Daniel gives trolling tips
- hitching trolls to the dogsled of open source
- Always Be Escalating
- somehow, no one points out that Dick’s consulting company is called “Escalate”
- Daniel recommends Paul Chiusano’s blog posts about tone online:
- Google Reindeer Antlers replaces Google Glass
- share Daniel's Christmas hacking session passion:
- Sparse: "Generalized, incremental parser combinators for scalaz-stream"
- https://github.com/djspiewak/sparse
- derivative parsing, constant memory
- “the performance is awful... but no one cares because it’s awesome”
- Dick is teaching parser combinators now in his advanced Scala training
- everyone misses BASIC and BASIC line numbers
- Daniel in particular misses Chipmunk BASIC:
- yes, Seth and Heather are Scalawags.
- yes, Daniel is still a Scalawag.
- so are Josh and Dick.
- we record with whoever’s available.
- but not all five at once, usually, because that's crazy.
- got it?
- believe it or not, Scala Days 2015 in SF will be Daniel’s first Scala Days ever
- Northeast Scala Symposium
- http://nescala.org
- Seth's there organizing, Josh and Dick are speaking, Daniel can only come on day 1
- we'll have a table at the drinkup?
- Dick predicts: Activator becomes a cloud-based IDE, with a compile grid on Amazon
- Scala.js and ENSIME in cahoots with Activator?
- Google claims not to be evil, yet installs vim not Emacs on Chromebooks
- Daniel predicts:
- people will stop complaining Scala is complex or incompatible
- and start writing Scala in pure-functional style
- Scalaz:
- there will be forks and/or renamings
- Daniel: “Someone will step forward and make this palatable again.”
- Josh: “Something like Scalaz will show up in the standard library.”
- Josh predicts movement in the I/O space
- Java 6 falls by the wayside, Java 7 NIO takes over
- Scala IO libraries emerge and get uptake:
- Dick predicts it will get easier to contribute to Scala development
- Josh predicts build tools in 2015 will improve and a new one might emerge and take over
- check out Buck, http://facebook.github.io/buck/
- check out Pants, http://pantsbuild.github.io
- check out Nix, https://nixos.org/nix/
- a Google Blaze clone will get adoption
- caching, parallelism, merging
- Dick predicts kindness and gentleness and is disbelieved
- perhaps in 2015 Scalawags will add a fifth viewer, now that we have five hosts
