Scala does look nice. Just a quick syntax view makes me want to give it a whirl when I want an alternative to Python. I used to code in C++, and C#. I use G'MIC (DSL) as my main. Scala seems right up my alley.

When I do commit, I write up the title of what I did, and describe it, and then use periods for related commits. Just easier.
I'm just glad I have other options than just Python. Am not afraid of writing my solutions either. I rarely use Python these day.
For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.
This. I'm coding to contribute to a open-source software with very small amount of coders, and with a non-mainstream Domain-Specific Language. A lot of the code I did before has been proven to work from times to time, but they all could benefit from better outputs and better GUI. So, I end up reengineering the entire and that'll take a really long time, however, I do a lot of tests to ensure it works.
I been meaning to learn Ruby to get around using Python. I like Ruby syntax better.
You mean a interpretative language with similar role to Python, but more like Rust/C++ style? I actually want that so that I can ditch Python even if I learned it and use this instead.
I use Levels filter tool for that in Krita. Already non-destructive.
