It feels like scala doesn't really have types when all types implicitly coerce to everything else.
I thought we only allowed this behaviour in silly languages like JavaScript and R?
@edensaesthetic yea, it could be a great language...if it wasn't for the jvm. Seems like a lot of it's downsides come from wanting to be java-compatible :-/
@balrogboogie I mean, if that's the cost to be platform agnostic? :(
@edensaesthetic ooo I wanna try scala
@LottieVixen mate setting it up is the most painful bit. It's not awful to write in though, just a bit unusual.
I don't get why it's so much more popular than clojure?
@edensaesthetic Clojure is another I want to try, I'll give both a shot and share my experience too, interesting to hear all this though! :)
@LottieVixen definitely do clojure! There's a book called Clojure for the Brave and True that's legit really good :)
It also has nulls, ick :(
