This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
We will see what capture checking is, how it works, all with realistic demonstrations of how we would use it in practice, with resources that would have significant consequences if mismanaged; we will see how (and where) capture checking significantly simplifies the code and frees our mental space to focus on the critical parts of our applications.
By the end of this talk, you will get a practical understanding of capture checking, with insights of where you should use it and how you can leverage Scala's strengths where it matters.
Scala Native can interact with C code and libraries, greatly expanding the library ecosystem beyond pure Scala offerings. Let's see the low level and high level tools that make it possible, talk through challenges of encoding various C concepts in Scala, and demonstrate what popular C libraries look like when used alongside idiomatic Scala code.
This talk will explore the use of Scala as a scripting language, replacing the Bash and Python scripts common throughout the industry.
Scala Fibers, Java Virtual Threads, and Kotlin Coroutines - this talk shows how this elegant solution manifests at three different abstraction levels.
So, is there a modern solution for web apps that is powerful, simple, and blazingly fast in both CI and the browser? A solution that lets you write in your favorite backend language and is fun? The answer is Datastar!
Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts.
