Standardizing on Cats?

[a1russell]

Since 1.0.0 hasn't quite been released yet, I'm wondering whether we can discuss standardizing on Cats rather than Scalaz.

As evidenced by the recently announced joint effort by popular libraries doobie, http4s, and Matryoshka, Cats is gaining momentum versus Scalaz.

In fact, I've personally avoided using scalajs-react in the past in part because of the Scalaz dependency/association.

I'm curious whether you might consider moving to Cats instead.

Hi @a1russell, scalajs-react doesn't have a dependency on Scalaz, although it used to a long, long time ago. Now it has an optional extension module that provides Scalaz support but neither core, test or extra use it.

Users are free to use the Scalaz module, the Cats module, neither or both. :)

Does that address your query?

[a1russell]

Oh! Is it just the tests that depend on it, then? I saw Scalaz in the build file and guess I did not read it thoroughly enough.

[japgolly]

Well it's a bit unconventional but only the tests of the test module do (whaat?); the actual test module that gets exported doesn't depend on it (hoorah!).

[a1russell]

Ah, okay, hah.

I was excited to see #341 get merged. Will it be ported to the neo branch, as well?

[japgolly]

The neo branch became 1.0.0-RC1 which was merged into master. Master is the new neo branch now so in that sense, yes; done! In fact it's been released already too because it was part of 1.0.0-RC2.

Oh, I understand now. That's great! Closing this.

[japgolly]

No worries; cheers!
