Release 0.3.0 - Standard Extensions, Union Types, Rules, Flame Graphs, MIO Timeouts, hearth-munit, and Much More · kubuszok/hearth · GitHub This is the biggest Hearth release so far: a major feature release that introduces Standard Extensions — a pluggable type-inspection framework — along with union types support, rule-based derivatio...

Hearth aka the Scala unified macro for 2.13 and 3 has a new version out! 🎉

I'm definitely no macro expert, so go read the changelog yourself to see all the magic. 🪄 It's huge!

When I also mention that I vibe coded Scala 3 plugin to use Scala Newtypes on Scala 3 (who knows, maybe it will even work!), this was my most productive conference so far!

The first release of Kindlings is also out!

and right behind it...

I wanted to release Hearth 0.3.0 after Scala 3.3.8 is out, and Kindlings 0.1.0 after that.

But overwhelmingly positive reception (and a horse head in my bed) convinced my to release them much earlier, so...

Here are slides from by talk at @scalar-conf.com about #macros in #scala

mateuszkubuszok.github.io/ScalaStandar...

Last year:

- at @scalar-conf.com I introduced sanely-automatic derivation with macros
- at @scaladays.org I showed that macros in #scala can be tamed

Now: I wanted to repeat the latter prez but with recent developments I had to update it!

Join me on @scalar-conf.com to see new GOTY edition!

One more proof by construction that we can improve derivation in #scala with #macros:

github.com/nguyenyou implemented sanely automatic derivation for Circe, and got some really nice numbers.

I was drinking beer and approving the runs on the phone (via Happy) xD What I saw was really encouraging. How encouraging?

This is what I have one week later:

Last week I went out for a Friday night beer with friends, and left Claude running. After recent batches of improvements I hoped that Hearth was finally at the stage when I would be able to write a whole type class derivation with no bugs in my macro utilities. #scala #macros

I wish cross-compilable macros, with potential to provide UX that mops the floor with all these shapeless/mirrors based-libraries were not just a hypothetical possibility...

Oh, wait.

Scala 2.13: scastie.scala-lang.org/MateuszKubus...

Scala 3: scastie.scala-lang.org/MateuszKubus...

Claude just finished writing me a sbt codegen, which generates >17 000 lines of code of macros and compiler plugins... which would be expanded in other macros to provide cross-compilable type constructor representation.

When I started Hearth I didn't expect to go so meta

Mateusz Kubuszok: Can we have the Standard Library for Macros? [Scala Days 2025] Do you like it when compiler generates the boring code for you? Fast, mundane, boring-but-error-prone code? Do you need to implement such a code generator yourself? Have you found out that Shapeless/Mirrors bend your brain a bit too much? Congratulations! You might have a valid use case for writing

🔍 A thoughtful, down-to-earth look at what a shared macro library could mean for Scala developers.

This is probably the most complete tutorial on typeclasses in Scala 3, it's basically a short book. Bookmark it, as it has everything: givens, derivation, mirrors, inline defs, macros... you name it. #scala kubuszok.com//2025/sanely...

It also reminded my why, I stopped - putting everything I know into 1 writeup is such a PITA but I do not want it any other way.

Sanely-automatic derivation - or how type class derivation works and why everyone else is doing it wrong In Scala, we generate quite a lot of code. A lot of that involves the compiler generating so-called type class instances. This mechanism is quite widespread, yet, very few people actually understand i...

Chimney 2.0.0-M2 for 2.13.17+ and 3.7+ just landed!

* sanely-automatic derivation backported to 2.13
* aligned with featues/bugfixes up till 1.8.2

Try out, if you had any issues with semiauto on Scala 3.7 or if you want to test sanely-auto on 2.13!

Great thanks to all organizers of @scalaio.bsky.social! It was a great experience I am happy I could be there.

Release 0.1.0 - Inintial release · MateuszKubuszok/hearth It took longer than I hoped but 0.1.0 is live and with some scaffolded documentation. There are some gaps in the documentation, e.g. no examples for utilities usage, no mention of sources and debug...

The first release is done, better macros are possible

Can we have the Standard Library for Macros? (@kubuszok.com): makes simple things simple, and hard things (at least) possible 🚀

Event Sourcing is just a foldLeft on Events and a decide function! Or is it? (Matthieu Baechler & Thomas Hilaire): master of immutability but UPDATE db all day long ? 👀

Thank you everyone who came to my talk at @scaladays.org ! It was amazing to be here!
