My biggest technical complaint about Scalaz. You can't effectively communicate concepts that involve nameless symbolic constructs, and slang as a replacement is inherently exclusionary.
Scalaz has (or should have) ascii names for every method I believe. If you can find examples otherwise we can fix it.
I see how people might look at how close java & javax are, and think scala & scalaz are equally close. They are not. Scalaz is a completely separate project from the core Scala project.
This reminds me of that short time I've been working with scala... I honestly think Scala is Perl on the JVM. I mean, the write-only unreadable-code part of Perl, but on the JVM.
Can you provide examples? There's a lot to criticize in Scala, but I can't find many examples of symbol soup, especially in user-written code. There is some, sure (most languages suffer from this to a degree), but so many you consider the language write-only? I just don't see it.
