Will fijit ever support Scala 3?

The short answer is: probably not.

The original motivation for building fijit was to facilitate the development of Clojure interfaces into Scala-native projects like Apache Spark and Akka. At the time of writing, neither of these tools run on Scala 3 and will likely not be switching for a long time.

That said, fijit already leverages macros to delegate to different implementations depending on the Scala version. It is possible that a Scala 3 implementation is possible for the entire fijit API, it is possible that one day fijit could support Scala 3.

Why the name “fijit”?

Clojure and Scala are both:

• Functional.
• Immutable-first.
• Jvm hosted (primarily).

Cora Sutton of Clojure Morsels also noticed that “figit” is an inflection of the latin word “figo” which means “to fasten”. A happy coincidence that I find too perfect to not write down.

How to pronounce “fijit”?

Same as “fidget”.
