Functional programming and databases share a deep connection: set theory, referential transparency, composition... Starting to see the beautiful symmetry? ❤️ #fp #databases #sql

Hey Jakub, do you know about the Stream Deck, right? 😀 Anyway, that was a great real-world demonstration of building a Scala Native program with generated C bindings, but more importantly how Nix fits into all this ♻️ #scala #nix

So, was there really no binary compatibility even between patch versions back in the Scala <= 2.7 days? 🤯 That sounds... challenging 👀 #scala

Another cool Scala 3-only library, this time a zero-dependency database client. I'm not a fan of annotations, but I'm happy to see another library going with a plain SQL approach instead of ORM. #scala #database #postgres

In my opinion, Scala should be moving towards a clearer, more unified syntax, as demonstrated by improvements to implicits and underscore usage. Introducing [] for collection literals, when those symbols are already fundamental to the type system, seems to me a violation of this principle. I believe it's a step backward, it adds unnecessary ambiguity to the syntax. #scala

How is it possible that Scala 3 can depend on Scala 2.13 artifacts and vice versa? It's a pretty cool solution to be honest. 👏 (The video is a bit old, but still relevant!) #scala

It's fascinating to see FP goodness creeping into traditionally imperative/OO languages like C++. Iterable std::optional in C++26 is a prime example. Soon we'll be currying functions while manually managing memory! 🤣 #functionalprogramming #cpp

Last year was packed with new experiences and challenges. Here are some of the highlights that stand out: - 👨‍💻 Began sharing my passion for tech by re-posting insightful articles and videos to spread knowledge and spark conversations - ⌨️ Learned Vim motions and switched to columnar keyboard. I wish I'd done this ages ago - it's a game-changer, trust me! - ☕️ Survived 10 months without caffeine, allowing me to sleep 30 minutes less and feel more refreshed and focused! - ✈️ Created unforgettable memories with my son during our first-ever airplane vacations - 🎹 Started messing around on the accordion. It's harder than it looks! - 📚 Read 8 books - 🏃 Ran, 🚶 walked and 🏔️ hiked 1000 km - 💪 Spent 100+ hours on various activities like 🏋️ weight lifting and 🧗 climbing My son's second birthday this summer opens up a whole new world of possibilities - like finally taking him camping in the mountains and sleeping under the stars together! ✨ #YearInReview #ReflectingOn2024

My prediction: 2025 sees a major jump in Scala 3 migrations from Scala 2. The cumulative impact of the new features is just too good to ignore.☝️ #scala3 #prediction

The IntelliJ Scala Plugin in 2024 | The IntelliJ Scala Plugin Blog

TL;DR You don't need to upgrade to Scala 3 immediately, as maintenance of Scala 2 will continue "indefinitely". My suggestion: if you are already on 2.13, invest your time to upgrade – it's worth it! #scala3

Not sure why the sound quality isn't better, especially since @makingthematrix.github.io obviously used an external microphone and a pop filter... Anyway, this video is a great introduction if you want to start programming in Scala with IntelliJ IDEA by your side 👇

"Now we need to ensure that the [IntelliJ Scala plugin] team is part of the compiler release process..." Great take! I would even say, don't release a feature if there is no IDE support from day one! https://medium.com/@w.pitula/on-scala-tooling-stability-what-can-we-learn-from-a-small-drama-a48619e50f97
