Ideas for making a Cats version? about scala-optparse-applicative

[tpolecat]

My vote would be to sign on here and create a cats branch and then make it default, and drop scalaz. But if that's unpopular I'm happy to do a fork.

I'd be fine with that personally. I'm gonna try and get the performance defect fixed up tonight. We'll see if anyone else comments here with a Yea or Nay.

I have no personal interest in maintaining a Cats version, and I've largely stopped using Scala. I think it would make sense for someone to make a fork and carry the project forward from there. I'm happy to point to it from the README here.

[tpolecat]

Cool maybe we'll do that then.

Happy to help as I'd like a cats port of this.

[tpolecat]

I'll take a stab at a cats port.

[oscar-stripe]

any news on the cats port?

[tpolecat]

Hey, yeah I made some progress but got wrapped around the axle with TransLift so I'm waiting for the MonadTrans swap. My branch is here.

One of my colleagues just released this: https://github.com/bkirwi/decline which is a from scratch cats based implementation.

Cool, that looks a lot simpler.
