Scala isn't fun anymore
The big takeaway here for me is that Akka has changed license to BSL.<p>It&#x27;s almost crazy to me that such a fundamental and widely used project would switch to such a restrictive license.<p>Some more details here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coralogix.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;akka-license-change&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coralogix.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;akka-license-change&#x2F;</a><p>&gt; Lightbend are operating on a “per core” model, with their base license starting at $1995 per core (defined as a thread or vCPU)<p>&gt; The license is only enforced if your company earns over $25 million in annual revenue<p>I guess Lightbend is really struggling, but this is probably the end of Akka outside of niche markets &#x2F; large enterprises.<p>edit: HN discussion - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32746807" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32746807</a>
