Ever wonder why you can't just override #sbt settings in a task? They're immutable, but there's a workaround 👀
Wrote up a quick #TIL on using `Project.extract` to run tasks with custom settings. #Scala

Here's one for all the game devs out there www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Some time ago I made a presentation that wasn't recorded...
But at least some of the points from it could be showcased with this gist

it is impossible to generate code comments from source code because good comments are definitionally based on things not in the source code (intent, counterfactuals, experiments, etc.)
Fantastic meetup yesterday! Shout out to the organizers and speakers for putting it all together. It was like looking into my CV: first job - Futures, next job - Actors, then monad transformers, and now tagless final. 😂
Functional #JVM Meetup in Prague 🇨🇿 was a blast!
It was awesome to meet fellow #functional programmers and discuss #scala over great Czech beer 🍻
Pick your track! As always, we're giving you lots of incredible talks to choose from. But don't worry if some that you're interested in overlap - after the conference you get access to all recorded presentations.

The slides for both "Virtual Threads, 2 years later" and "What is Functional Programming" are available on my website: warski.org/talks/

Good morning @lambdadays.bsky.social!
Today, together with @michal.pawlik.dev, we will go through the history of Scala: there will monads, transformers, actors, singers and the meaning of being in a startup!
Come coin us in Track 2 @13:30!
🧭 Coming to #Lambda Days?
We’ve got a handy Attendee Guide with local tips: where to eat, drink, chill, and explore in #Krakow!

🤣 CV driven presentation!
Thanks for attending! We really enjoyed giving the talk to the wonderful crowd in Prague yesterday! Hope to see you soon again! 🇨🇿
Announcing Chimp: build type-safe, boilerplate-less #MCP servers in #Scala using the HTTP transport!
Below is a self-contained, scala-cli runnable example:
The design is based on what @mplachta.com presented during @scalar-conf.com this year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWvT...
Flavours of Scala with @mplachta.com & @michal.pawlik.dev at #LambdaDays! 🌶️
Explore "better Java," #Haskell for humans, and more as they guide you through 2 decades of #Scala evolution. Spice up your coding style! 🔥
📅 12-13 June 2025 in Krakow, Poland!
🎟️ www.lambdadays.org
Model Contex Protocol coming soon to Metals for even better #Scala IDE experience.
Give it a try!
With our new Scala MCP server we are able to eliminate hallucinations and unproductive guesswork for code that LLMs aren't familiar with by exposing API shapes from the caches of Metals and the Scala compiler.
Two great talks on building languages at #LambdaDays 2025:
Nicolas Rinaudo will show you how to create a programming language from scratch and level up your tools and #DSL. 💻
Zainab Ali will treat docs like code, improving your workflow. #Racket #Elixir #Scala 📝
🎟️ Register here: www.lambdadays.org
Just added slides for my talk "Tagless Final for Humans" to my page of talks:
noelwelsh.com/landing/talks/
I gave this talk today at @scalar-conf.com. The core is a new encoding for tagless final in Scala, which makes much better use of Scala's features than the standard encoding.
I had a fantastic time at the conference—connecting with Scala enthusiasts, enjoying great talks, and sharing ideas. Special thanks to the @Softwaremill for an amazing event!
I was honored to speak this year, and I’m sharing my slides here: majk-p.github.io/functor-on-a...

Thank you, @scalar-conf.com! I had a blast! Here are the slides for my talk "Retrying the retry design": michalplachta.com/slides/retries
You can find the code (PoC!) at Github: github.com/polyvariant/... ("o rety!" is Polish for "yikes!" 💥)
Blog post and hopefully some PRs coming next week 🤞
That was a good one!
Welcome to the 11th edition of #scalarconf
Interested in learning more about Rust 🦀 or Scala?
This week, @rustikon.dev and @scalar-conf.com Conferences are happening in Warsaw — both organised by us at @softwaremill.com . It’s a great opportunity to connect, share knowledge, and dive deeper into these technologies.

AI images have an extremely distinctive and very strange distribution of spatial frequencies. They're basically made of zebra stripes at varying scales. Every dark band has a corresponding bright band of the same thickness immediately alongside it
this is actually MORE noticeable at thumbnail size
