Great news! No longer do you have to have separate folders for your Java and Scala code. The newest release of Scala 3 now supports writing Java within your Scala code, providing much smoother integration than before. Here's an example

that took me a quick second to realise that yes, that is indeed java in scala
I was thinking "surely that's not Java"
despite the fact it's what I've been working with basically all day

The only caveat is that you need to write Foo<Bar, Baz> java to help out the parser
@lyxal Even better, it's Scala in Java in Scala

can't wait to pollute the scala I eventually write with Java
what's the JS support for this new functionality?

ngl, I was mildly worried about Scala's popularity falling off but this will attract a lot of the Java crowd
@lyxal Let me write up an example

because if it's decent, then that might make some projects much easier to develop for those who might main Java but not scala
+ ANTLR + symja + more

Well, as we know, JavaScript is just a dialect of Java, so since Java support is so good, JS support will be even better
@lyxal I can't tell if you're deadpanning right now or if you actually believe this
You're probably deadpanning but it's hard to tell through text

That whole thing was hella sus, you've failed as a crewmate

welp looks like we're sticking with that random symbolic algebra scala library I found plus custom parsers

Wish I'd thought of this on April 1
@lyxal lmao yeah
I'm working on making my own though

Your own symbolic algebra library?
 
user

Ye
A very limited one, of course

let me give you the same advice I gave Seggan: don't.
 
user

Okay but a counterpoint: no

lyxal
you really want to implement all the different differentiation, integration, algebra simplification rules, etc?
 
user

The best way to learn how to do something is to try to implement it yourself, fail, cry, and run away

save yourself time - leave the library writing to people who have done higher level calculus (read: not me)
 
user

Yeahhhh

lyxal
see now you're understanding it
 
user
user
I understand it before too
And I still want to try it

lyxal
well knock yourself out

It'd be fun even if I wouldn't succeed
