Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts.
Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts:
* maintaining the list of possible errors up to date (uses Scala 3)
* endpoint explosion with different return data requirements, having to write custom optimized DB queries for each of them
The demonstration will use GraphQL and Caliban, but the principles apply to other endpoint types as well.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
When writing software, we currently seem to have to choose between an imperative style - easy to read and write, hard to reason about - and a monadic style - hard to read and write, easy to reason about.This talk is about being greedy and getting the best of both worlds, because we deserve it.
This talk will explore the use of Scala as a scripting language, replacing the Bash and Python scripts common throughout the industry.
Scala Native can interact with C code and libraries, greatly expanding the library ecosystem beyond pure Scala offerings. Let's see the low level and high level tools that make it possible, talk through challenges of encoding various C concepts in Scala, and demonstrate what popular C libraries look like when used alongside idiomatic Scala code.
This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project.
