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.
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.
Several solutions have been put forward to mitigate this, ranging from agentic code review to exhaustive test generation to formal verification.
In this talk, I present evidence from our research that these approaches are not currently sufficient to mitigate those concerns and instead suggest an alternative, more viable path forward based on the Scala type system.
I conclude by offering an insight from the perspective of LLM developers on why this approach is working and how even more secure coding LLMs can be developed, thanks to Scala features.
In this presentation, I will demonstrate how we leveraged the strengths of Scala and TypeScript to develop a collaborative text editor that meets the strictest standards for security, performance, and real-time collaboration.
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.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with Scalar community and create lasting memories!
This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project.
