ninjazee124 | 12 years ago | on: Will Java 8 Kill Scala?

I used Scala at my previous startup, but for my new startup I decided to build the backend in Java 8. Biggest reasons were the tooling/IDE is just miserable in Scala and the lack of developers in the market. I am really happy with my decision to build our backend with Java 8, quite a joy to write lambda expressions and have the tooling of Java.

Pretty sure I won't be going back to Scala.

Switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ for Java development about a year back and never looked back. It's amazing how good the tooling and autocomplete is. It's worth every dollar!

I just can't fathom how something so ridiculous could pass so many engineers at LinkedIn, without raising flags on how bad this is. The moment I saw the word "proxy" I cringed!

They should have wrapped it with jetty-runner or something that makes it easy to run it without having to fire up Tomcat.
