Announcing Dotty 0.19.0-RC1

After Ohio State (the US university) lost its bid to trademark “the”, I thought the door was open for “the”, especially on Scala t-shirts and other active wear. That would’ve been so cool, and is a huge missed opportunity on the merchandising end.

Also, the meme would have been what you put between the brackets, the[...].

I guess, “Better the DSL you know than the DSL you don’t.”

That could also be a t-shirt.

Thanks again to Dr Odersky for showing those youthful people how it’s done. Is there no contest for who tops the shortlog list? I mean as a sporting proposition.

Other t-shirt possibles:

Stucki n Geneva
I’m so Pretty

I’ve wondered why is it “smarter” and not “smartre” like “theatre”?

I’ll leave that to the philosophers and t-shirt designers.
