In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.
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.
In this talk, I will present insights from running the Open Community Build, where we continuously build and migrate nearly 2,000 open-source projects to the newest Scala Next versions, from scratch, every week.
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.
Do you like it when compiler generates the boring code for you? Fast, mundane, boring-but-error-prone code? Do you need to implement such a code generator yourself? Have you found out that Shapeless/Mirrors bend your brain a bit too much?
