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.

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.
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.
Learn how to accelerate Scala code by orders of magnitude with Cyfra.
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.
In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.
