In this talk I will discuss four new constructs that are likely to be part of Scala 3 and that will affect functional programming style in profound ways. They are: enums, implicit function types, opaque types, and extension methods. I'll present each feature in detail, motivate why it makes sense to add it, and discuss use cases.
