The sbt 2 project has started the last mile process to lock down the 2.0.x branch. Depending on the bugs we discover, we are hopeful that a release candidate (currently 2.0.0-RC12) can graduate in a few weeks to a few months.

sbt 1.12.7 is released with a CVE fix!
It's a sign of the times, that whenever a new open source project pops up, I instinctively and cynically check the commit history for evidence that this new library has just been vibe-coded and released into the wild.
Scala-CLI in Scastie? Don't mind if I do!

Sitting here, reviewing my own code, like a psychopath.
I'm just gonna just leave it here. I somehow feel it will spread without much marketing.

Both these statements can be true at the same time:
1. AI slop is a burden for maintainers that were already suffering from burnout.
2. AI use can significantly lower the costs of maintaining open-source software.
This is why I love game dev.. the bugs are much more interesting than API work 😛 Combat system is done now though 🎉 You can read more at www.patreon.com/posts/147789...

Today, instead of announcing a new feature, we would like to ask you about a possible new one. 🔎
In some other languages, it's possible to evaluate inline with the `>>>` symbol in a comment. This gives you a quick ability to evaluate some code. Should we add it to Metals?
We've recently added some Navy ships to our pirate colony sim, to really stir things up.. and some pretty graphics!

3 buildings in pixel art on the left, with a black background. The black fades into an island with 4 characters, one farming land, all in pixel art
Our little Pirate colony sim just got a raft of new buildings that can be built, and a new unit to help you along the way 🙂

You're right, but business folks don't care.
Their view: "If Go is good enough for Google, it's good enough for us... and I hear hiring is easier and it's more Ai friendly."
I'm not saying any of that is good or true, only that the difference is lost on the people spending the money.
I don't mean to sound defeatist, quite the opposite, I'm saying there is hope, but it will require someone to be brave and find some new space to occupy or an existing one to disrupt.
Being better at HTTP isn't a good enough selling point.
I hope to be inspired and impressed again. 😊
Fluke or not, all the fancy meta-programming in the world won't help if we don't have a purpose, a niche, a reason for investment.
You can build better backend services in Scala than in Go. But so what? We could be better at data than Python (again?), but they have the ecosystem / manpower / hype.
