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.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to combine the power of Scala with the flexibility of TypeScript to create a secure, real-time collaborative text editor—similar to Google Docs, but built for high-security environments? Imagine a scenario where military teams need to simultaneously update critical text documents during a mission, while ensuring airtight security in air-gapped deployments.
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. I will dive deep into the technical architecture, powered by advanced operational transformation algorithms, which enables multi-user editing without conflicts. Additionally, I'll share how we layered robust security measures on top of the solution to ensure it meets military-grade standards, while maintaining seamless performance in isolated networks.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.
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?
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.
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.
