In this presentation you will learn the source of your issues, and a third way - sanely-automatic derivation which is fast to compile, fast to run, and easy to debug by its users.
Are you using one of many type-class based libraries in Scala? Have you ever been forced to understand this “automatic vs semiautomatic” distinction? Did your builds slowed down when you started using the “derivation” thing? Did you ever hate your life when looking for a missing implicit? In this presentation you will learn the source of your issues, and a third way - sanely-automatic derivation which is fast to compile, fast to run, and easy to debug by its users.
Scala 3.6 stabilises the Named Tuples proposal in the main language. It gives us new syntax for structural types and values, and tools for programmatic manipulation of structural types without macros. Can we, and should we, push it to the limit? Of course! let's explore DSL's for config, data, and scripting, for a more dynamic feel.
In this talk we'll see how to model a tree structure in Scala, take both imperative and functional approaches to tree traversal algorithms, and do some ASCII art at the same time.
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.
