scapegoat duplicates scala/scala-abide?

It looks like Scala-core have recently come up with the same idea as scapegoat and are busy implementing their own scalac plugin that also duplicates Findbugs: https://github.com/scala/scala-abide

It might be worth hacking on that instead, as it’s likely to capture scapegoat’s mindshare / user base, since it is backed by the core scala team.

(No-one else seems interested in adapting Findbugs for Scala; everyone seems to want to reinvent the wheel. Maybe I’ll moan about that on the Scala mailing list.)

The scala-abide project hasn’t seen a commit in 3 years now. Also I am not sure if the private communication between the involved maintainers reached any consensus, but I’d risk a guess nothing is happening in the area.

Thus let me close the issue. If any new plans for cooperation are shared, we can obviously reconsider.

Ok sounds good, I’ll email you privately if (when) I get stuck.

@sksamuel https://github.com/sksamuel it was great meeting you too!

How about we start with a few rules that would go in scala/scala-abide? I’d pick a few that make sense for everyone (to place in “core”):

• CollectionPromotionToAny
• ComparisonToEmptyList/set
• Filter.head

Then, I think it would be excellent to have a scapegoat-rules package for abide, that is hosted here. WDYT?
