Awesome!

Is it open source? I want to learn on how to create it


Nice. What's the different between Camo and InstaRoom?


InstaRoom lets you also present slides or screen share behind you, a little bit like mmhmm app does except that InstaRoom composes the video on your iphone so your Mac doesn’t slow down.


Thanks, I tried the syntax intro and love the experience so far. Do you use skulpt for the in-browser code runner?


Meh, then tell me why you doesn’t have an instagram account?


I do have an instagram account.

You can use it without installing any nodejs stuff.


For people who want to try using this stack, please be aware of the cost running this stack isn't cheap.

I recommend to watch this session in ServerlessDays Virtual April 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4WoQd2yVJQ&feature=youtu.be...


These are learning patterns, not for putting straight into production. So they should mostly all fit within the free tier for learning

Sheen is brilliant so i’m not disputing his presentation but the costs linked were worst case scenario v1 API Gateway with an expensive cache. Http APIs are 70% cheaper and there is no cache in this example.


I lose my interest to the project after I read "AI Code Generation" on the comparison table


+1 here


Thanks for this feedback - have now removed from the site and will reconsider how we structure that whole comparison table


Congrats!



Scala is like Rust and Rust is like Scala. They are proud of their complexity.


I commonly see this assertion but it never made much sense to me: Rust is not that complex, and it's certainly nowhere near the complexity of Scala or C++ let alone worse (to me the sole topic of C++ constructors & assignment feels more complex than the entirety of Rust).

What it is is highly front-loaded, especially through the early learning cliff of integrating the borrow checker.


Meh I would say Rust is just as complex as Scala. I actually don't think Scala is all that complex, it has few features, they're just write powerful and general ones which take some getting used to I think.


If there's one thing better than a Scala vs Kotlin flamewar or a Rust vs Go flamewar, it's undoubtedly a mashup of the two.


Can we all just get along and agree that at least none of them are Javascript?


I believe a big part of the famous Javascript semantics can be emulated in Scala with a library.

Once upon a time I wrote a toy Android app with Scaloid, and tried to use some on-device print-debugging. toast("foo") worked just fine. toast(42) crashed at runtime. Turns out Scaloid offers an implicit conversion from Int to CharSequence, and it even doesn't turn 42 into anything like "42". I'm not kidding [1]. In Android you normally have "resource identifiers" as integers with no compile-time type information, and then at runtime you never use these as actual numbers, instead you every single time pass them to some function like getText or getDrawable. Sound like the perfect case for implicit conversion, right?

We acknowledge that sometimes complexity is necessary, but that doesn't mean that we don't try to reduce it wherever possible.


What are the points which in your opinion make Scala complex?
