Martin Odersky discusses Scala's position between functional and object-oriented programming and introduces the motivation behind the Caprese research project.

Scala has a unique role between functional and object-oriented programming, between cutting-edge research and mainstream industries. Filling this role is not always easy. In my talk I give an overview where Scala stands now, what some of the challenges are, and I outline our vision for the future.

Does the Caprese project have any actual examples or documentation yet? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I don't blame you. It's basically only referenced in this talk by Odersky from ScalaDays and random discussion threads scattered that only reference that talk. It mentions a new research project on algebraic effects called Caprese (Capabilities for Resources and Effects). I was confused about the discourse around this project because some people have stated that it's already making its way into scala 3, but I haven't seen any kind of technical details, documentation, talks, or anything else I would expect from what appears to some to be a big change for the language…
