Fork It Harder Make It Better
summary
Compares concrete tools and experiments: fast feedback via REPLs, worksheets and Jupyter notebooks but poor full‑project integration; a compiler fork (Typelevel) and rsc experiments for new features and perf; Bloop + BSP lets IntelliJ edit and compile non‑sbt projects; coursier replaces Ivy to speed resolves; shows cargo/crates and Elm publish flows that take ~2 minutes versus Scala’s tedious process; describes Bazel‑style input‑defined builds, jetpack github build resolver, and an implicit radar and one‑click IntelliJ bundle for quicker Scala onboarding.
