Understanding Comparative Benchmarks

I'm going to do something that I don't normally do, which is to say I'm going to talk about comparative benchmarks. In general, I try to confine performance discussion to absolute metrics as much as possible, or comparisons to other well-defined neutral reference points. This is precisely why Cats Effect's readme mentions a comparison to a fixed thread pool, rather doing comparisons with other asynchronous runtimes like Akka or ZIO. Comparisons in general devolve very quickly into emotional marketing.

But, just once, today we're going to talk about the emotional marketing. In particular, we're going to look at Cats Effect 3 and ZIO 2. Now, for context, as of this writing ZIO 2 has released their first milestone; they have not released a final 2.0 version. This implies straight off the bat that we're comparing apples to oranges a bit, since Cats Effect 3 has been out and in production for months. However, there has been a post going around which cites various compar

Some of these practices might be based on wrong assumptions and I'm not aware of it, so I would appreciate any feedback.

1. avoiding some dependency conflicts:

   • install sbt-explicit-dependencies globally in your ~/.sbt/{0.13,1.0}/plugins/plugins.sbt
   • run undeclaredCompileDependencies and make the obvious missing dependencies explicit by adding them to libraryDependencies of each sub-project
   • (optionally) run unusedCompileDependencies and remove some obvious unused libraries. This has false positives, so ; reload; Test/compile after each change and ultimately run all tests to see that it didn't break anything
   • (optionally) add undeclaredCompileDependenciesTest to the CI pipeline, so that it will fail if you have some undeclared dependencies

2. keeping dependencies up to date and resolving conflicts:

   • install sbt-updates globally in your `~/.sbt/{0.13,1.0}/plugins/plugins.

Category theory jargon cheat sheet

A primer/refresher on the category theory concepts that most commonly crop up in conversations about Scala or FP. (Because it's embarassing when I forget this stuff!)

I'll be assuming Scalaz imports in code samples, and some of the code may be pseudo-Scala.

Functor

A functor is something that supports map.

Dear soon-to-be-former user,

We've got some fantastic news!  Well, it's great news for us anyway.  You, on 
the other hand, are fucked.
