I'm not really a programming language expert, but it seems to me that having an implementation being the spec wouldn't be a good idea. If the Streem implementation has a bug, then the bug becomes the authoritative behavior. Any platform specific quirks would also make it difficult to have defined behavior.

It is.

"Yes, you can write more concise code; yes, you have a more advanced type system; yes, you can pattern match. There are hundreds of other reasons that Scala makes a great language. When a language can offer me constructs to write more correct code, I'll always be willing to deal with the learning curve."

I think the point was that these are the things that he thinks are of more value to developers than the other good things that Scala offers.

I think you need to change your "context" country. If I look for 0C.T4 in Ireland, I see green (implying a bench).

It looks like the mapcodes are country specific, and two countries can have the same mapcode.

It is spammy. I split this string using ',', and I count 167 names. That is in no way close to "1 or 2 dozen of the most popular artists" number claimed by the author.
