Alex NedelcuComing from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Scala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Scala</a> — <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kotlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kotlin</a> has somewhat odd restrictions in the type system. E.g., while it supports declaration-site variance, it doesn't support any annotations to make incompatible methods sound, so you either go with @/UnsafeVariance, or with extension methods.

vascorsdIt's impressive how almost always going to the docs page for circe in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/scala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scala</a> ends up in frustration. It seems it never tells me what I want and makes me go to a bunch of places to search stuff. All the freaking time. Best option is going to code I have somewhere and try to copy paste.

Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.I want to be your next <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediHire</a> ! I've been a programmer since 1985 (as a child), I've been an IT professional since 1995 (pulling wires and swapping cards and configuring MS Windows). I graduated from University of Arkansas Fayetteville with a BS in CS in December of 2003. A full resume is available.I currently require a 100% remote position. I cannot relocate from Cove, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Arkansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arkansas</a>. I would prefer W-2 employment with a base salary of at least 130k USD/yr, plus some sort of retirement offering (401k or similar) and healthcare benefits (HDCP + HSA or similar).I prefer something where I can be a high-performing individual contributor: reading, writing and improving source text the majority of my day, with some time spent knowledge-sharing with other developers -- learning and teaching. I'd like to work with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Haskell</a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Purescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Purescript</a>, or <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Idris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Idris</a> as the primary source language.
