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.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
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.
Code generation is one of the most promising applications of large language models (LLMs), offering substantial productivity boosts for developers. However, this benefit is tempered by serious concerns surrounding the correctness and security of the generated code - especially outside the happy path.
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.
This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project.
