Vue has also JSX as optional for the template system. you can see react as a subset of Vue.

Because Scala takes mind-boggingly long to compile. Because Scala has so many features that anything has at least 3 different ways to implement it. Because it’s very easy to write unreadable code in scala, not so much in C#. Because Scala uses JVM, while C# has access to .NET (yes this is an advantage for many developers).

Thankfully that problem doesn't exist with C# /s

What are the last Scala/sbt versions you’ve used? Scala compilation times (and sbt startup times) have improved dramatically over time, it’s reasonably fast now. In the past 3 years, the Scala compiler has gotten literally twice as fast. I don’t have hard numbers for sbt, but it feels like it has improved by much more than that.

For a mid-sized web service (tens of thousands of LOC), a clean compile might take ~30-40 seconds, but you rarely do those. Incremental compiles take more like single-digit seconds, and for most projects you can have a solid “compile on save” type setup that makes it pretty unnoticeable. And sbt itself, which used to be very slow to startup (sometimes 10-20 seconds), now starts up in a couple seconds.

It’s not lightning fast like Go, but it’s way faster than it used to be. Not much of a pain point anymore unless you’re dealing with truly huge projects.

is kotlin slow to compile

It's certainly slower than javac (which is pretty freaking fast - maybe not in comparison to go, but it's no slouch), but it certainly mops the floor with scalac.

Which is something I don't understand, just separate the signal and give me a digital output from the monitor, why are monitors doing digital analog conversion for audio too, all of a sudden?

It was useful for me when I hooked my nephew's Nintendo Switch up to my computer monitor to let him play and then connected desktop speakers straight to the monitor.

It's pretty cheap to add and enough people find it useful

There are usually different flavors of the same base-model. Some have speakers, other not. Not adding speakers, but leaving the rest ist just cheaper and more reliable than tinkering with every flavor for single features.

You just matched all engineers to a pattern you observed.

That's brilliant! (as is the observation that humans are naturally pattern matchers)

In fact, I would argue that engineers tend to be people with stronger pattern matching capabilities, because that's exactly how most engineering problems are solved.

It's not aiming for 100% compatibility to web standards. More like a familiar way to create GUIs. Electron is a very up to date browser instance, and that is both its strength and weakness.
