How Scala is made and how you can help?

In this talk I will explain the inner workings of an organisation that goes into releasing, maintaining and developing Scala and core parts of its ecosystem.

About This Talk

​I am using Scala from 2011 and since 2019, part of my job (and the main reason I picked it) is to grow Scala and its community. In this talk I will explain the inner workings of an organisation that goes into releasing, maintaining and developing Scala and core parts of its ecosystem. I will discuss what are those parts, what problems the team of teams face and what you can expect in the future.​Later, I will focus about ways to support the ecosystem. The help comes in various shapes and I will try to convince you that there is one that fits your needs.​As build tools are my pet peeve, expect some Scala CLI and Bazel as well!

All the projects I didn't finish, and why it was worth it

In this talk, I'll go through a couple of these projects, and share some of what they've taught me, as well as how their legacy affected other projects in the ecosystem. And who knows, maybe you'll get inspired to try something crazy with Scala too?

Going structural with Named Tuples

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.

Tagless Final for Humans
