Сніданкослав без ланоса 🇺🇦 Hi, I'm using pekko at $work with Jdk 11,17 and now jdk 21, and you can contributes to pekko and akka too.

Scala 3 is the best programming language of today. I've been professionally programming in C, C++, VB, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Scala, Haskell and Rust. I've used Python, Ruby, Go, Kotlin, Swift and OCaml recreationally. None is even close.

Scala Native running on Playdate by Panic. No GC, pointer trouble in the FFI part, still rough around the edges, but I'm happy to have reached this point after a month of trying!

I started a blog. In the first installment I write of some of my memories of Niklaus Wirth. odersky.github.io/blog/2024-01-0…
