In our talk, we will introduce a novel approach to system design— TypeOps — in which the application and infrastructure layers are fused to provide unprecedented safety and productivity for Scala teams.
Scala 3.6 stabilises the Named Tuples proposal in the main language. It gives us new syntax for structural types and values, and tools for programmatic manipulation of structural types without macros. Can we, and should we, push it to the limit? Of course! let's explore DSL's for config, data, and scripting, for a more dynamic feel.
In this talk, we'll cover the essentials of macros, why they are useful, why you should care about them, and how to become as good as you need with them for practical purposes.
In this talk, I'll walk you through coding and design practices I've developed over the years, whilst onboarding new graduates into world of Scala (be it typelevel based API, Spark based ETL, or ML pre and post-processings), and how I made the process easier for people who didn't have much Scala experience beforehand.
I will demonstrate how Pillars can take you from zero to production in record time. By leveraging Pillars’ integration of well-known libraries, you can bypass the usual complexities of setting up observability (traces, metrics, and logs), database access, API calls, and feature flag management.
In this talk we'll see how to model a tree structure in Scala, take both imperative and functional approaches to tree traversal algorithms, and do some ASCII art at the same time.
