This is why I love Scala so much


Scala is by far one of the nicest programming languages I have ever worked with. Scala with no JVM dependency would a killer programming language BUT only when all async features work out of the box like they do JVM. It’s been attempted a couple of times and it never succeeded.


a) Scala with no JVM exists: https://scala-native.org or https://www.scala-js.org

b) Async works on Scala Native: https://github.com/lampepfl/gears and is coming to Scala.js.


`tap` is cool.
