Tokyo please!

Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen a photo of Linus. Not how I imagined him at all. So... normal. I always imagined him with a Stallman beard.

In general, the Java static compiler generates pretty poor-performing bytecode, no matter how much useful info you give it. This is by design, and relies on HotSpot to provide the necessary optimisations at runtime.

I'm no expert but I would assume that the Scala compiler is quite similar. Not much point in generating highly optimised bytecode when HotSpot will do the job for you.

I recently read "Reading the OED" by Ammon Shea. Recommended for word nerds.

Thank you, especially for telling me the name of the field that I am looking for!

I think you're right in saying that a proper book is in order.
