With Scala 3.8 around the corner, let's recap its biggest changes: 1️⃣ JDK 17 as a minimum version 2️⃣ "Better fors" (SIP-62) 3️⃣ Standard library built with Scala 3

The biggest improvements in #Scala 3 are not enums or nicer implicits syntax, but: 🤝 Making binary compatibility across versions possible (via TASTy) ⚡ A built-in interactive compiler (instead of a batch tool) 🔗 A modular architecture that makes new features easier to add

🎉 Scala 3.7.4 is officially out, bringing several fixes and backports. See the full changelog 👇 #scala

Streams are a powerful tool for control flow, covering topics such as event handling, file processing, reading from the database... Learn more from Zainab Ali's talk at the London Scala User Group. #scala

Please share so my boss Michal is happy! 😂 Or to spread the word about @VirtusLab / @softwaremill's new podcast! 📢 Or to support local Scala agencies! 💪

There are so many great thoughts, to pinpoint just a few: 1️⃣ Tooling is nowhere near other languages 2️⃣ Missing a true "Spring Boot-like" framework 3️⃣ Official docs need real-world examples 4️⃣ The persistent misconception that "you need async for performance"

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

After years, I came to the same conclusion: it's worth taking the time to use proper test data, even for attributes you don't currently use in your business logic. It'll save you so much time later.

Scala vs. F#: Which is more functional? #scala #fsharp

The tech industry is creating its own talent crisis. By ditching junior devs for AI hype, companies are just burning out their seniors and killing the future talent pipeline. #ai

Binary compatibility is a very important topic that every senior should understand. This video, even though it's about Smithy4s, explains concepts for evolving a library's schema in a binary-compatible way. #scala

The most comprehensive collection of Scala learning material finally on YouTube. A freaking 283 videos! #scala

Respect to Dylan Halperin for his massive contribution to @http4s! 🚀 His new MultipartReceiver is in the latest version after over a year of review, adding safer, fail-fast file uploads with size limits and no buffering. #scala

I was really looking forward to io_uring in Postgres 18, but it turns out it's not the winning I/O strategy. Worker, the new default, seems to be the best all-around method so far, performing well on all storage types. #postgres

Java is removing `sun.misc.Unsafe`, an API which is widely used but was never supported or meant to be public. This is one of the reasons for the adoption of JDK 17 in the upcoming version of Scala, which relies on Unsafe for its lazy val implementation.

💡 Quick tip: Stop parsing Array[String], use main and get type-safe command-line args directly as function parameters. #scala

Match types, an awesome feature which I haven't properly used yet 😀 #scala

Taking bets on when Spark will adopt Scala 3. Just by reading the PR, my guess is never. 😔 #scala #spark
