Popularity isn’t everything. Some niche functional programming languages offer unique value!

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!

Another RC version of sbt 2.0 is out! 🎉 There are several improvements, but I really like to see the run task being non-blocking! 🔀 eed3si9n.com/sbt-2.0.0-RC10 #scala

Announcing Scala Days 2026 | The Scala Programming Language We are very happy to announce that the Scala Days 2026 conference will be taking place 12 - 13 October in Berlin, Germany, one of Europe’s most vibrant tech and open source hubs, known for its strong culture of collaboration and its growing role in advancing digital sovereignty through open technologies.

Scala Days is returning to Berlin after several years! 🇩🇪 If you want to support your favorite language, go grab a ticket for the lowest price available right now. (Fair warning, it still isn't exactly cheap 🤷)

Mirrors are garbage. That's the core message from Kalin Rudnicki's talk at Func Prog Sweden! #scala

Cool project #ScalarConf #Scala

We're excited to officially kick off Scalar with a keynote talk by Martin Odersky 🔥

During the breaks, visit our Sponsors & Partners' booths: JetBrains, Aikido Security, and spin the Wheel of Fortune to win some cool stuff from Softwaremill & VirtusLab!

And what's fixed and improved:
- Fixed BSP connection file regeneration
- Better support for the bspEnabled flag
- Improved incremental highlighting
- In Scala 3, fixed issues with apply and update extension methods on opaque types, improved type inference, and more.
(2/2)

#scala #intellijidea

Compile-time validation in Scala 3 is beautiful. By using inline extension methods, we can throw compiler errors for invalid data before the code even runs. #scala

Scala Survey 2026 Turn data collection into an experience with Typeform. Create beautiful online forms, surveys, quizzes, and so much more. Try it for FREE.

We're closing the #Scala survey 2026 tomorrow, 26th March 2026, 23:59 CET. If you haven't yet, now's the time to take part :)

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!

Scala Roadmap for learning is now officially published. It contains over 150 nodes with descriptions and links to learning materials. It's aimed at beginners but I'm sure many advanced developers can find there something for them as well.

Good morning everyone!

Today’s plan: continue migrating from #Scala 2.12 to Scala 2.13 and #ApacheSpark 3.5.1 to Spark 4.0.0.

Let’s see what breaks!

Generating Direct-Style Scala 3 Applications What kind of guidance (if any) does an LLM need to write a direct-style Scala 3 application? Let's find out!

What kind of guidance does an LLM need to write a direct-style #Scala 3 application?

At the baseline - not a lot, e.g. Claude is quite good both in Scala 3 & direct-style. For finer details - some additions to the prompt might be useful.
