Tried out that new metals best effort compilation flag and it stopped evaluating my worksheets :( But still, excited for this feature to get improved!

The "we shouldn't put data in code stuff" is silly. Why do we have Scala worksheets, then? The reason I like and teach Scala is that it's so flexible and meets you where you are.

Curious about anyone's experience with IntelliJ's Scala 3 support these days. I was trying to use it a couple of years ago but I was really struggling with spurious compiler errors. Specifically, I think that IntelliJ didn't have correct support for derives clauses.

Okay! I teach Scala and right now we're using SBT, but it could be nice to offer students an alternative.

There is an ongoing discussion about whether to make the next LTS release of Scala target JDK 11 or 17. On the one hand, I think it would be nice to target a newer LTS. However, JDK 11 actually has extended support until January 2032, and JDK 17 only has extended support until September 2029 (JDK 11 has longer extended support planned than even JDK 21, whose extended support is ending in September 2031).

I think this is awesome. One of the only pain points I have with Scala is collection literals.

Do you use Metals? I tried mill a few months ago and liked the tool itself but couldn't get it to cooperate well with Metals.
