We'll explore type classes in Scala 3, using its new rules for givens, extension methods, and mechanisms for automatic derivation via mirrors or macros.
Type classes are a Scala superpower, and yet are underused in application code. Compared with OOP-based designs, type classes unlock “parametricity”, meaning polymorphic functions whose type signatures describe their behavior, making code more expressive, safer, and more predictable. This matters even more in the age of AI agents, because more mistakes can be caught at compile time, shortening the feedback loop and speeding up convergence toward a working solution.

Scala Fibers, Java Virtual Threads, and Kotlin Coroutines - this talk shows how this elegant solution manifests at three different abstraction levels.
Learn how to accelerate Scala code by orders of magnitude with Cyfra.
In this talk, I will introduce the highlights of what to look forward to in Scala 3.9 LTS, as well as how to think about the upcoming new release.
I would like to present the use of NamedTuples to implement some cool things in SQL Libraries
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.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
