Every Wednesday I release a new version of #GeekListener digest – news from software development world, mostly related to JVM, BigData and other technical stuff. I comment on developers tweets and sometimes it’s even funny. Let’s continue this glorious tradition! Meet the #GeekListener v.8!

The first tweet is about old good friends Java & Scala

Switching between Scala and Java projects. I hope it'll get to be as natural as switching between driving on left and right now is for me

— Rod Johnson (@springrod) December 17, 2015

Rob Johnson compared switching between Java and Scala projects with switching between driving on left and right. I would better compare Java & Scala projects with switching between manual and automatic transmission.
Don’t waste your time on the third pedal =)

Google technologies always looks like art

We improved the "randomness" of JavaScript's Math.random() in Chrome: https://t.co/RBKkhMz5fy pic.twitter.com/sOACQUSEqL

This time guys from the Google Chrome team have made a next step to new Malevich square implementation.

I don’t know why Mr. Swardley facepalmed?

Asked "Don't I think Docker is a better platform than Cloud Foundry?" … /facepalm. Docker is a useful subsystem component of a platform…

For example I know people who couldn’t choose between MySQL and CSS. So it’s natural for our world. I mean existence of stupid assholes.

That inconvenient moment…

I just forked #Scala. So help me God.

— Joe Barnes (@joescii) December 17, 2015

…when you want to improve by yourself a tool which you use for a development. I wish a good luck to Joe, because Scala isn’t a motherfucking game.

Returning back to underground technologies…

I gave @starbuxman my demo of delivering enterprise grade highly distributed #perl6 applications on @pivotalcf and I’m still alive. #winning

— Casey West (@caseywest) December 18, 2015

Casey, of course you are alive. You are one of that people who still work with Perl. Definitely you are extremely hardy, maybe almost immortal.

Jake Archibald knows how to organise good integration…

The area behind my TV has built up some technical debt #pluglife pic.twitter.com/2HMGmyVFnx

When I saw this photo at first time, I thought that someone else knows what’s going on behind front-end on my project.
If you like this digest, you can read the previous #GeekListener v.7!

Let’s continue a programming languages battles.

Q: Maven just downloaded half the internet. Is it right? A: Yes, you need to use npm to download the other half. #java vs #javascript

— Tomáš Dvořák (@tdvorak) December 20, 2015

I use Maven for many years now, but I still scared to use NPM. One of the reasons is that second half of the internet.

Setting up an environment always is the most hard part of job

After a day of updating react, karma, mocha, webpack, and babel, I’m pretty sure that whole ecosystem is just an exercise in masochism

— jeremydmiller (@jeremydmiller) December 21, 2015

But I think YES. Jeremy definitely deserves for a medal of honor. Respect!

I like crucial enhancements…

"What should we do differently in 2016?" -supervisor "I think we should use more emojis in our commit messages"

— Nicole White (@_nicolemargaret) December 22, 2015

Maybe if emojis is the solution, let’s use that ones which produced Kim Kardashian?

And finally let’s make a deploy!
