Hm... As an early Scala/Akka developer, and contributor I would like to see these issues addressed by the team because I'm seeing a lot of trac jacking going on. This usually only happens when there isn't a response to issues.
Are you of the opinion that the problems with the Scala type system are unfixable?
I would like them to be fixable, because otherwise Scala is a decent language, but it is too early to say.
Hi Tony,
isn't #963 more or less fixed? (It crashes the compiler, but doesn't fail at runtime anymore ...)
Could you post a new example of it if it isn't?
Isn't crashing the compiler pretty far to the "less" side of "more or less fixed"?
Failure to compile is always better than generating wrong bytecode.
Right, but I don't think "fixed: replaced with compiler crash" is a resolution you'll see in many bug databases
