  1. Have you tried in ver 6? I'm on windows and the experience is not the best but far from terrible here

  2.  @Tabonx_  In Version 6 is easy without xcode, I tried it. Still not a great experience, unfortunately it appears that the LSP consumes like 30% of CPU all times

  3. If you try rust again I recommend turning off the chat. I almost never saw such a random hateful behavior but in all videos where you use Rust.

  4. ​ @jl789nz  There's a difference between "knowing" something and knowing something. An artificial level of knowledge is sufficient to have a codebase in a given language. A more experienced level is what it takes to make good code.

  5. ​ @rasibn  I think you are overexagerating, they literally have an online playground and it takes like 5 seconds max. Incremental builds are also a thing, I worked on a relatively big android codebase with it and it did not take more than 5-10s to build after the first time.

  6. Scala is worse than swift in this regard, in the sense that swift have structs.

  7. ​ @Me-wi6ym  I have a quick lookup on scala docs for those, but I don't think case classes are similar to Rust structs. They are reasonable similar to some constructs you can do to structs, but absolutely different. The question of structs is not that they enable a certain kind of behavior, but that they are inlined in memory. Scala is based on JVM, which as far as I know currently don't support value types (until valhalla comes or something happens), so all the custom types are boxed in memory in the "worst" case (which is much, much, much slower). Considering scala also does not have a borrow checker (but swift has an optional ownable types feature with the ~Copyable) I feel like it can model <more> features closely to the Rust API. In the end of the day I don't think neither are exactly akin to what Rust can do, but swift for me is closer in this regard because it is also considered a systems programming language. Still, I want to use scala a bit before giving a definitive conclusion, I used Kotlin so far but not scala yes. I think Kotlin is very close to swift in the syntax (different in many aspects, but close in many others, I personally love the trailing lambda feature of both langs).

  8. You know that most of new android code is being written in rust, right? I don't think your affirmation stands out.
