During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
The direct style in Scala 3, influenced by languages like Kotlin and Rust, simplifies functional programming by eliminating for-comprehension syntax on higher-kinded types. It offers an imperative approach supported by context functions.
While some many Scala developers support it, others prefer the traditional functional styles used in libraries like Cats Effect and ZIO, which manage effects differently. The potential of combining Algebraic Effects and Handlers with Scala 3's direct style opens new possibilities for exploring different programming paradigms and libraries.
During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step. With some enhancements to the common approach, we’ll discover that adding for-comprehension capabilities to such a system is possible, ending with a system that can express the same program using either direct style syntax or monad style.
In our talk, we will introduce a novel approach to system design— TypeOps — in which the application and infrastructure layers are fused to provide unprecedented safety and productivity for Scala teams.
This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer.
Case study. Summary of over a year of experience building AWS lambdas using Scala 3, scala-cli, and GraalVM. Presentation of the open-sourced library providing custom lambda runtime developed for that purpose.
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.
In this talk, we'll cover the essentials of macros, why they are useful, why you should care about them, and how to become as good as you need with them for practical purposes.
