Recording: scala.bythbay.io: Moses Nakamura Interview
you okay my name is Moses Nakamura I work for twitter I'm a software engineer on the core systems libraries team and I work on finagle on the team yeah so i think i had read some like this was back when hacker news was a little less unpleasant than his thing and i had read a few articles about it and then jorge ortiz came and gave a talk about it and i was very impressed with the parallel collection stuff that he talked about since i didn't know better at the time so at the time i went and bought the book with the staircase on the front of it the martin nerd risky book and i just read it cover to cover and then started building projects in scala and it was really fun after graduating from college I went and worked for a scholar shop tumblr and then well mostly PHP but I joined the team which was doing Scala things and after that I went to Twitter which was also doing many Scala things so yeah I guess I've been working professionally in the Scala for the past I think it would be nice I think Scala is actually quite nice it would be nice if I had a little more control over memory management but I like sort of the abstraction level that Scala gives me and I like the ecosystem in general I'm quite happy with finagle Java 8 has many nice improvements yeah i guess i would say i think the sec i'm working on what right now is pretty good i really liked you gene Baur mako's talk about macros and scala meta so a problem that we've had historically has been a very difficult to upgrade libraries especially when you want to deprecated something or delete an API or something like that and the Scala meta and our particular particular things like Scala fix and the rewriting tools seem to suggest that at some point in time in the future we might be able to just to drop a config file in with our jar and that will allow people to upgrade their code automatically and that seems to herald a pretty exciting future I would say you
