IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 with the Scala Plugin now enables you to develop Scala projects within Docker containers or natively within WSL on Windows. This means that all IDE features you're already using in your local projects are now also available for projects living in containerized and virtualized environments.In this talk, we'll walk through the following workflow:
- Importing an sbt Scala project stored in virtualized environments, such as Docker or WSL
- Compiling and running the project in IntelliJ IDEA
- Running unit tests
- Debugging the code
- Running Scala worksheets
In this presentation, I will demonstrate how we leveraged the strengths of Scala and TypeScript to develop a collaborative text editor that meets the strictest standards for security, performance, and real-time collaboration.
When writing software, we currently seem to have to choose between an imperative style - easy to read and write, hard to reason about - and a monadic style - hard to read and write, easy to reason about.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.
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.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with Scalar community and create lasting memories!
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
