How cool and powerful the sbt is. I'm just finishing creating a modular plugin to simplify some stuff, and I'm happy with the effect. From time to time, I see some complaints on sbt, but hey, nothing's perfect. I'm pleased. Kudos to the sbt team and ∃ugene -Yokota 🥙 mastodon.social/@eed3si9n. 🙏

What Emmanuel Macron & Olaf Scholz don't understand: for many European nations the war against russia is payback time. Not one of these nations will tell Ukraine to stop, and all of them will help to kill as many russian troops as possible. This is a list of these nations: 1/n
