Ya play is where I started, then I moved my app into Scala.JS land.

Had some cool parts to it, but not sure I was sold on the overall experience. I hate JS so bad and want to avoid it, but I kind of felt like I was mostly trading evils. Maybe if I worked at it enough it would finally get better? Not sure

When did you try it out? What didn't you like?

I ported a site written in vanilla Javascript. I decided to faithfully port it without any changes before introducing scala specific libraries. That was pretty painful. A bunch of manual casting for UndefOr and js.Function.

Since then I've started using some of the scalajs libraries/frameworks straight away on projects. It has been a much more pleasant experience!
