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.
A clean Domain Model is hard to maintain. Over time, our core entities often become overloaded, accumulating database logic, infrastructure constraints, and JVM-specific boilerplate. We want a pure, rich domain, but we often settle for leaky abstractions or an explosion of wrappers just to keep the compiler happy.
Scala 3 offers a powerful, pragmatic alternative: you no longer need complex concepts to solve easy problems. By leveraging its modern toolset, we can define behaviors, data shapes, and relationships exactly where they are needed—without polluting the core entities.

I would like to present the use of NamedTuples to implement some cool things in SQL Libraries
Protobuf is commonly associated with code generation. However, in large projects with tens of thousands of message definitions, this approach can lead to an overwhelming amount of generated code. In this talk, I’ll share my journey in search of a different approach to this problem.
In this talk, I will present insights from running the Open Community Build, where we continuously build and migrate nearly 2,000 open-source projects to the newest Scala Next versions, from scratch, every week.
Code generation is one of the most promising applications of large language models (LLMs), offering substantial productivity boosts for developers. However, this benefit is tempered by serious concerns surrounding the correctness and security of the generated code - especially outside the happy path.
This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project.
