Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library.
Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library. This talk will showcase how Scala is as much a medium for artistic expression as it is for software development. We’ll start by breaking down the sampler’s implementation using Scala 3, Scala.js, and Typelevel Cats, then dive into its creative applications by composing arpeggio patterns with functional programming principles.
Along the way, I’ll share insights from my work in development and music production, showing how functional programming uniquely enhances artistic projects. This talk is designed for newcomers to Scala and functional programming, as well as music enthusiasts, aiming to inspire developers to explore the creative side of Scala and its applications in the arts.
In this talk, I'll look at the different uses to which tagless final is put to, and see what we can learn about when it is useful and when it just gets in the way.
In this talk, I'll walk you through how workflows4s works, how it stands apart from tools like Temporal or Camunda, and why it just might be the better approach for modern, event-driven applications.
During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
