During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
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.
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.
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 highly concurrent distributed systems, handling tens of millions of operations is a massive challenge! Delta Lake, which relies on Optimistic Concurrency Control, avoids locking entirely - allowing transactions to proceed in parallel without knowing each other’s existence. Instead, we resolve conflicts at commit time.
This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer.
