This talk is about being greedy and getting the best of both worlds, because we deserve it.
In this talk, we will walk through a concrete example of a boilerplate-heavy domain. By replacing common Scala 2 workarounds with Opaque Types, Extension Methods, Enums, and Union Types, we will demonstrate how to achieve a strictly typed, decoupled architecture without the noise.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
I would like to present the use of NamedTuples to implement some cool things in SQL Libraries
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.
In this talk, I will introduce the highlights of what to look forward to in Scala 3.9 LTS, as well as how to think about the upcoming new release.
