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.

Scala 3 macros are some of the least understood parts of the language, and some of the most powerful. 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.
You will understand:
- why inlines are great but often not sufficient
- the mechanics of a macro
- how to manipulate programs as values
- how to surface custom errors in the compiler
- essential pieces you can work with, including terms, symbols, types, trees and expressions
- how to make useful libraries with macros
- practical examples of macros at work
Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library.
In this talk, I will show you how to create a programming language from scratch.
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.
In this talk, I'd like to share how the Iron library and features from Scala 3 helped us build a solution which is safer, more robust, and easier to maintain.
In this talk I will explain the inner workings of an organisation that goes into releasing, maintaining and developing Scala and core parts of its ecosystem.
