My advice as a native English speaker here: In my entire life, I've only seen or heard "till" in the following contexts, given in order of frequency:

1 A cash register (noun)

2 In very poorly constructed resumes

3 In the farming sense (verb)

4 In internet forums alongside poorly written English

5 Shakespeare and other literature from several centuries ago.

So my advice: unless you're a time traveller, use "until".
>That's a lot of people to move and things to rebuild. Op did say "the current round of civilization".

If that's the bar for civilization ending, then civilization ended when people came to the US, ended again when they expanded out to the West, etc.

Just because people on the US coasts move means little to the 60 percent of citizens that don't live near the ocean.

And again, it's not going to happen overnight. A wall of water isn't coming in that will force everyone to put their things in a car and go. It will be slow build-up that slowly forces people out as they decide it's to expensive to mitigate.

To be fair, the Wikipedia sites for these languages barely have any content. Of those that do exist most articles are essentially 2-line blurbs. These languages are essentially dead for all practical purposes.
I once drank the Scala cool-aid as well. Even wrote an enthusiastic article about it [1]. Since then, my enthusiasm has been replaced by disappointment: the JVM interop is a lie, as Java libraries often are a bad fit, people won't have time to write the extensive wrapper code needed to hide it, and as a result ugliness starts permeating your codebase - yes, bad, but that's how teams under time pressure work; the multi-paradigm-and-widening (back in 2009, Scala was a smaller language) is one big headache - everyone has an opinion of how you should write code in Scala, so inevitably you spend a lot of time debating features you should or shouldn't use in your teams (instead of writing code. In Elixir, we never have to debate paradigms, we write code); sbt is a sorry mess - no-one understands it and it's slow.

I still think it's a very well designed language, the choice of the JVM+Java ecosystem as the target just has bogged it down with legacy crap like everything else on that environment and the designers should start to make some choices instead of offloading that on every single development team in the world. I think that "single-paradigm" is one of the reason that simple languages that get shit done, like Golang and Elixir, are so successful these days.

Were I bound to the JVM, I'd still give it a good look (not sold on Clojure or Kotlin yet and it _is_ nicer and less frustrating than Maven+Java if you keep it simple); I'm just not married to the JVM so can freely consider other options.

Mostly agreed.

There are some pains associated with Scala, though. Sometimes self-inflicted by people who want it to be like Java: for example, most ORMs for Scala suck. A team at my office tried to use Hibernate to disastrous effects (Scala and Hibernate's hostile takeover of collections don't play well). Even some DSLs like Scalike tend to also be painful and unwieldy. I also dislike Play and its multitude of quirks and incompatible versions.

It used to also be the case that both Eclipse (ScalaIDE) and IntelliJ IDEA were almost unusable with Scala, in particular constantly resulting in spurious compilation errors. I've no idea if Eclipse got better -- completely got rid of it after decades of using it with Java -- but IntelliJ did get better and mostly works (though it still cannot always compile Scalike DSLs).

But even with all of the above, when I have to work with Java code again I cringe. Even with all the pain, Scala is simply better to work with for new code.
So the title is misleading. The sense of humor comes from this Indian organization and it is also applied elsewhere out of Bhutan.

Harry Lewis: An odd fact about my teaching career
One likely possibility is mention of this presidential administration changing US corporate taxation to something more focused on capital flow across borders. It's in some ways similar to a VAT- a lower possible rate, but closing loopholes that strand revenues overseas, and eliminating almost every incentive for corporations to domicile offshore or adjust the books so that US taxes are avoided.

One aftereffect of this policy, which has its fans on both sides of the aisle, is the prospect of not so much a stronger dollar, but far weaker currencies for countries that derive their survival on multinational corporations taking advantage of the current US corporate tax system.

As a result, you can still either invest in stock in XYZ in, say, Honduras, or, own stock in the US fortune 500. As many look to the future, the better, safer bet is looking more like the latter than it used to.

> Scala as a better Java any more than I would Python as a better C

The difference between Python and C is huge because C is not interpreted and doesn't do automatic memory management, which is actually the deal breaker for many apps. Saying that such a difference exists between Scala and Java is simply wrong. It's wrong starting from the fact that both are garbage collected, running on top of the same VM, having the same performance and thus targeting the same application profiles.

> Scala is maybe a "worse Haskell", with extensive Java interoperability

Haskell is a language I like and that I'm in the process of grokking, being a continuous inspiration, but to tell you the truth, to the contrary I think Haskell is a less practical Scala. Scala follows the pragmatism of the ML family. OCaml is another pragmatic language. Clojure and Racket are too.

Empirically speaking, Haskell is good at being a trend setter in the FP community, but besides really cool libraries and concepts, I don't see much in the way of applications built by Haskell folks. Some big companies have built complex systems on top of Scala, not to mention projects like Kafka and Spark, which can also credit Java and the JVM. For OCaml, even with a much smaller community than both Scala and Haskell, you have some really cool stuff like MirageOS. What does Haskell have to show for, besides badly documented libraries and compiler implementations?

Don't get me wrong, correlation does not imply causation, maybe Haskell simply has a popularity problem, but the onus is on the Haskell community to prove that Scala, OCaml and others are inferior alternatives to Haskell by showing some results. Because at the end of the day it's the final artifacts that really matter.

I had to write a SOAP endpoint last week, because the dev in the other company didn't like REST.

It was just one endpoint, that took a set of values.

Took me a few days to get the WSDL right, because no good examples or tutorials were to be found...

In the end it took me 80% of the time to figure out that I had a wrong XMLSchema version used to define my types. Only some heavy XML IDE found this bug, all validators just told me that I didn't define any types, haha... well at least I learned something in the process :)

And all of the special electrical thingies in my Renault are keyed to the VIN, so you can't get a used/refurb part, they've got to be new. And the Renault dealer is the only one that can program the VIN into the part.

I think my electric hand brake was 660€, but I've got a mechanic who's good at finding parts. But he still had to take it to the Renault dealer for programming.

And it relies on a 161€ clutch position sensor (which is different than the interlock for startup sensor)

Mechanically, Renaults seem pretty good. Electrically, I'm not so sure.

To get the same transit in the US, we'd need to spend 5-10x what Europeans/Asians/anyone else in the world spends.

https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/comp...

In the US, public spending is generally a way to funnel money to cronies of the inner party (e.g. transit worker unions, construction unions, politically connected consultants). Various other interest groups - mainly NIMBY homeowners - will also demand their pound of flesh.

We need to fix our social technology ( http://thefutureprimaeval.net/social-technology-and-anarcho-... ) before we can build such things. Luckily we have people like Kalanick taking baby steps in that direction.
It's not the boilerplate. When you take some of the best java developers on the planet, after a couple years you end up with a AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean, so what is a mere mortal supposed to end up with? Evolve any Java codebase for N years and the result is the same.

http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/2.5.x/api/org/sp...

You could also make a similar argument for Scala. Not boilerplate, but other problems. There are some epic scala flamewars out there. A mortal could be forgiven for looking at an "idiomatic" scala codebase and scratching their head, looking at all this higher order "stuff" and wondering, "but where is the actual code, that does the actual thing?" And I'm not sure there exists a human on the planet who knows what idiomatic scala is. The whole point of the language was to make some impossible compromises, and as such you can kind of feel forces inside the language in tension with itself, not in alignment. Perhaps FP and OOP are not meant to be unified.

Yes, and dedicated instances, and allows you to write all the code you need to encrypt everything... Cheaper - this is not however, in either infrastructure or skilled engineering costs (plus medical and finance orgs are skittish of AWS as it is).
This has not been my experience in practice, but it has been my experience that people say this can be done theoretically. I worked at a company where most of the backend was in Java and Scala. There was this platonic ideal of Scala for the usually stated reasons, but what actually happened was weird, half-implemented Scala with Java that was necessary to take it the rest of the way on pretty much every microservice. It never really felt like Scala stood on its own weight without requiring 20% of the solution in Java. That bifurcation ended up making the maintenance sort of a pain.

I don't currently work with Scala (sometimes Java), but I would be interested in hearing some tips from you on how to make Scala more of a first class citizen and stand on its own weight.

> With compile-time DI, you make service classes accept lower level dependencies as constructor parameters. In Scala, constructor parameters are accessible from regular methods, so most of the time, these services could be completely stateless. This approach is also advocated by several Java (and .NET) experts, but it's by no means mainstream. Interestingly, Scala developers have an advantage over Java/C# users, because they can significantly simplify the implementation by combining a macro-based library with lazy definitions:

Asking for a dependency explicitly is service location not dependency injection. Your code there does not solve anything better than a regular service locator in a constructor would. The point of DI is that it's abstracted from the user code and the user doesn't have to care about these `wire` calls and can test it "as if dependencies were just passed regularly".

If AR worked a bit better than it currently does I could easily come up with 5 or 6 real practical (and quite dull) applications that would make life a lot easier for people here at work. I cannot say the same about VR.
