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.

I am using Scala from 2011 and since 2019, part of my job (and the main reason I picked it) is to grow Scala and its community. 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. I will discuss what are those parts, what problems the team of teams face and what you can expect in the future.Later, I will focus about ways to support the ecosystem. The help comes in various shapes and I will try to convince you that there is one that fits your needs.As build tools are my pet peeve, expect some Scala CLI and Bazel as well!
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 3.6 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, I'll introduce Bazel, exploring its core concepts and the unique aspects that set it apart from other build tools. I'll dive into some typical challenges Scala developers might face when working with Bazel.
In this lightning talk, we will discuss 2 interesting IntelliJ IDEA features.
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.
