I think the main body of the post is good. It is already publishable.

But, I do suggest that the intro aim at including all of the important information in brief, so that someone will get the essential points they need even if they don't go on and read the whole thing. Condense the entire blog post into a single page; begin with just that page; and then follow it with the more detailed version.

An example of an important piece of information that isn't revealed until quite late in the blog post is that only some Scala 3 features are consumable from Scala 2.

Oh, one more thing. 2.13.14 comes out in just a couple weeks. Up to you, but I think you might want to wait until 2.13.4 is actually out, then you won't need to include the information about using a 2.13.14 nightly.

I've added more at the start, theres more of a problem with the library dependencies section due to there being no libraries currently for Scala 3.0.0-M1, perhaps that section should be redesigned in some way

[bishabosha]

added more to the overview section, and removed the mentions of snapshot scala versions

intro LGTM now 👍

I wonder if you want to say a few words about the status of -Ytasty-reader and/or about the overall status of the feature in terms of experimental vs. non-experimental, is requiring the flag considered temporary, that kind of thing.

I was a bit surprised to see sourcecode among the dependencies. Isn't it a macro, so isn't it surprising that it would work?

Thats a good point, I should update to mention this.

Yes perhaps I should use a fictional library - tasty reader is lazy enough to only error when the code directly requires something unsupported - so a test suite that requires sourcecode.Position will fail

I've changed the blog to use ScalaCheck now that it has released for Scala 3.0.0-M1, and I've added a section to talk about the Ytasty-reader flag

updated the date for Friday the 13th

[SethTisue]

We've had to push 2.13.4 out a bit again, as a few issues/PRs are still in flight, and then we'll need to float an "RC" (a designated nightly) and run the community build. Current target date is Mon Nov 16
