It's the new language that the creator of Scala is now working on.

i thought dotty is a new compiler for scala, not a new language

does it break compatibility with current version of scala

I've never heard of dotty-the-language before this morning, but have been a long-time dotty user. I was hoping to help antialias the name collision for others.

On a different note: I've noticed that HN is starting by to develop the drive-by-I-disagree-voting that Reddit has. That's unfortunate.

It is what will become Scala V3 (eventually)

Dotty is apparently the "next generation compiler for Scala": http://dotty.epfl.ch/

Yes. It's essentially Scala 3 (though that is a rather foreboding, Python 3 like name).

It's being developed separately from Scala 2. For example, it interops with 2.11 but not 2.12.

The Scala 2.12 compiler will soon compile the Scala 3 compiler [1]

Dotty is a great project to follow on GitHub if you want to take a look at some very high-quality Scala code. [1]

I like to take a look at /compiler/src/dotty/tools/dotc to whet my appetite from time to time [2].
