Not OP, but I've gone through the E3 process a couple times. First as a change of status, second as a new applicant. You have to prove two things: 1) the job is a specialty occupation, and 2) that you possess the necessary skills and qualifications for the position. The rest of the application is a walk in the park.
Regarding the general perception of E3, I've found that very few people in the U.S. know about the E3 visa class. You may need to educate your employer a little.
IMO, there's room for both approaches, perhaps with the exclusion of the most the irrational situations as you describe. It's unreasonable to expect engineers to bring battle-tested solutions to the table 100% of the time.
While drones are indeed still susceptible to a multitude of bad weather scenarios in the air, they do bypass several major scenarios on the ground that frequently interrupt supply lines like flooding, fires, avalanches, etc.
Scala still has several differences to Java including a stronger type system, traits, pattern matching, and implicits (love them or hate them.) Java is definitely closing the gap on some of the functional aspects though.
Edit: Where did the basic docs on type bounds in Scala go?
This construction makes for a nice undergrad talk. Back when I was in college, my math club held a "Brisk walk through Topology" lecture and was able to pull a fairly large audience from both the Math and CS colleges.
Note that I am not concerned about the fact that the project was started by one person, nor am I dismissing it altogether.
The author of this project is most definitely a smart and capable individual. However, at some point this project will reach a point where it requires more work than one individual can achieve, hence the question regarding official support - is there any financing, plans for new contributors, etc.
Will Lightbend be supporting this project in any way?
The reason I ask is that I see on GitHub that you are the only contributor so far. This project is quite a large commitment for a single person, I'm hesitant to play around with Scala Native without knowing more about future plans for support, milestones, etc.
Having said that, this project looks awesome. Nice work so far!
