In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.

AI agents are taking over many tasks that required humans before. This could be very good for productivity but how can we possibly trust our agents? There are a multitude of known ways an agent could go wrong, including prompt injections or plain hallucinations. The current techniques to control agent behavior are patchy and rudimentary, they certainly don't instill trust.
In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities. We can use them to make not only bad states but also bad actions unrepresentable. This points us to a possible future where an inherently untrustworthy LLM agent can be trusted to stay within defined parameters when put in the right environment.
We'll explore type classes in Scala 3, using its new rules for givens, extension methods, and mechanisms for automatic derivation via mirrors or macros.
For nearly a decade, Scala's concurrency has been driven by Akka, Cats Effect and ZIO, each with its own vision for purity, safety, and pragmatism. Kyo enters this incredible ecosystem with a fresh perspective.This talk provides a critical, technical comparison of these systems through a unified framework.
Do you like it when compiler generates the boring code for you? Fast, mundane, boring-but-error-prone code? Do you need to implement such a code generator yourself? Have you found out that Shapeless/Mirrors bend your brain a bit too much?
I would like to present the use of NamedTuples to implement some cool things in SQL Libraries
