In general I am not against dropping Scala 2.12 but there are 2 points I would raise 1. Afaik (and I would like this to be confirmed), Scala 2.12 version of Pekko is still the most downloaded version of Pekko. The situation with this is even worse than with JDK 1.8, who appears to only have a few users using it (albeit those uses are quite critical i.e. enterprise). We should investigate how and why this is the case. 2. I wouldn't overblow the amount of effort required to support Scala 2.12. Pretty much every difference between the Scala versions has already been accounted for with our Pekko utils which abstracts over all Scala versions and the biggest divergence we have is between Scala 3 and Scala 2. Unlike JDK 1.8 with all of the various sbt build workarounds/Java 9 bespoke module stuff we have to deal with (which doesn't exist in JDK11+), Scala 2.12 only has some slightly different calls for specific library components. tl;dr, maintenance burden for Scala 2.12 is a weak argument all things considered. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
