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
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.
In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.
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.
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.
This talk will explore the use of Scala as a scripting language, replacing the Bash and Python scripts common throughout the industry.
