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.
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.
In this talk, we will refactor a real-world service using Extensions, Union Types, and Context Functions, demonstrating how to achieve a strictly typed, decoupled architecture that remains easy to read and evolve.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with Scalar community and create lasting memories!
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.
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.
