Yes, and? Classes are not inherently bad, hence saying that JVM should not be invested in because its bytecode requires classes is nonsense. re: inline lambdas, they have to be _tied_ to a class, and defined as methods, indeed. But they no

I'd say category theory concepts are not over the top - but category theory libraries could be! I just about never define or use explicit categoric typeclass instances - even though I almost always define categoric methods, e.g. `++` a

I suspect they use the LLM for help with text editing, rather than give it standalone tasks. For that purpose a model with 'thinking' would just get in the way.

Given that Scala-Android efforts predate Kotlin, Scala could have had a shot at Android if EPFL resources were allocated to it, like to Scala.js. Kotlin is not simple at all, it has a lot of keywords for strange and very specific features a

I don't think it's possible to write a flawless codebase. That doesn't mean SWEs don't seek mastery of their craft. Moreover, achieving mastery doesn't mean you would actually want to write an 'ideal codebase&#
