Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library.
Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library. This talk will showcase how Scala is as much a medium for artistic expression as it is for software development. We’ll start by breaking down the sampler’s implementation using Scala 3, Scala.js, and Typelevel Cats, then dive into its creative applications by composing arpeggio patterns with functional programming principles.
Along the way, I’ll share insights from my work in development and music production, showing how functional programming uniquely enhances artistic projects. This talk is designed for newcomers to Scala and functional programming, as well as music enthusiasts, aiming to inspire developers to explore the creative side of Scala and its applications in the arts.
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 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.
During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
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.
