"Among the clients of the Spark runtime architecture, Scala is the most popular language, followed by Python and Java. According to a recent survey by Databricks, the company behind Apache Spark, 71% of respondents reported using Scala for Spark development, while Python was used by 24% and Java by 5%. Another survey by Typesafe on the Spark ecosystem revealed that 88% of respondents used Scala, 44% used Java, and 22% used Python, with the percentages reflecting multiple language usage. Scala is considered the most optimized language for Spark due to its integration with the JVM and its role as the language in which Spark was internally implemented, offering better performance and access to the latest features."

Should have a better name. There is Fabric, a library in Python, microsoft's SaaS offering

Background: 25 years of tech. If there's a job done in or around IT, I've done it and done it well. I started with dumb terminal migrations and build world-class databases today. As I like to say, I know the whole data stack from "Silicon to SQL". Lately, I've specialized in building amazing engineers. If you need an amazing team of engineers (think NASA or SpaceX) over a team of amazing engineers (think Justice League or Avengers), then I am the leader you need!

Second half of 2026? I would have thought earlier to preempt the bubble bursting. Perhaps they know the IPO would be a flop (like many in 2000) and want to avoid opening all circular deals and the books to the public.

Yes - he campaigned on making America more crypto-friendly in general; this could also be read as part of making good on that promise.

I've never been in one, but the design really looks challenging. I'm not sure it could beat the functionality of a standard "truck" and as a vehicle for "show" there be better options with more resale value out there.

Indeed, `let`s and `const`s incur a significant performance penalty. This is also why the Scala.js compiler emits `var`s by default, even when targeting very recent versions of ECMAScript.

The good news is that we can still write our Scala `val`s and `var`s (`const` and `let`) in the source code, enjoying good scoping and good performance.
