I've been writing more Twitter threads since the beginning of 2021 and I really enjoy it. It's challenging but rewarding to cut a topic into a dozen little pieces that tell a story yet stand on their own. Judging by your reception, you like them, too. So they'll keep coming! 😃
I'll also collect all threads in this thread of threads. 🧵² From modules to serialization, from pattern matching to value types, form generics to networking, whether it's new versions or upcoming JEPs - here they all are (and many more to come). Enjoy, like, retweet. ❤️
