       @alexelcu I used to like QTs for the ability to start an alternative thread of discussion and not bother the people whose original tweet it was. Now I feel like if I want to comment on something, the original author has to get notified of my reply and all subsequent replies.

       @feld I’m rooting for his campaign to undergo a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”

       This week in #PracticalFP, we migrated most uses of a publicly available web tool so that rather than running slowly as heavyweight processes, they run in-process on a dedicated service. The end result was a 20x speedup for these tasks.

       Using FP didn't allow us to do it (in fact, the old way was always known to be inefficient and klunky), but using high quality libraries from @typelevel made the work of building out the service much more pleasant and straightforward.

       The new service uses cats, cats-effect, http4s, fs2, doobie, circe, and others that I'm forgetting. I have been using these libraries for quite some time and found them to be stable, reliable, well-supported, and pleasant to work with.

       @alexelcu I really like decline; but Applicative is a very natural way to define CLI parsing to me, but I agree that if you’re new to Scala it’s probably pretty foreign

       @mjg59 Like how much jet fuel/CO2 emissions are we going to waste on this charade?
