This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer.

Unison is a young programming language for the cloud, built in particular by the authors of the Scala Red Book and other people who are (or were) active in the Scala community. Unison distinguishes itself from traditional programming languages by re-inventing the foundations of code storage and deployment. By doing so, it unlocks a number of very interesting properties that are rather unique in the programming landscape.
This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer. It'll highlight the benefit of this approach, as well as some of the caveats.
In this talk, I will discuss why it's hard to use the power of RT to test side-effect-heavy apps.
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 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 this lightning talk, we will discuss 2 interesting IntelliJ IDEA features.
