I really love(d) Scala for introducing me to the whole idea of Optionals.
I wish for the life of me I felt like I could approach Scala at a time when it wasn't going through huge flux (I have shitty luck). I spent a good amount of time pre-version 2.10 :( and then recently went to have a look but saw Dotty (version 3.0?) coming by the end of 2020 and I was like "well, FML, time to wait a few more years and try again."
Anyone have any tips for using the Scala ecosystem effectively these days? Should I just wait for 3.0? Is it going to be a long winding road of breaking changes until a "3.11" version?
Is there a good resource for what folks are using it for these days? It seems like all the projects I used to know are ghostly on Github (but that could also be the fact it has been quite a few years, heh). Or do most folks just pony-up and use plain ol' Java libraries while writing their application/business logic in Scala?
