This Is Your App on Scala 3 by John A. De Goes

John A. De Goes presents a vision of Scala 3, showing how its new features improve modern cloud-native application development.

Scala 2.x has had a giant impact on the JVM, influencing both the Java programming language and new languages like Kotlin, as well as the entire data ecosystem through highly successful projects like Spark and Kafka. Yet, the world is very different than when Scala 2.x was created. Some features that were cutting-edge in 2006 are now mainstream in Java. Some features, like implicits, have been criticized for being too low-level and confusing. Enter Scala 3, a massive revision of the language nearing its first release candidate. In this presentation, John A. De Goes provides a compelling new vision of the future of the Scala programming language, showing how more than a decade of feedback and collaboration between industry and academia has yielded a powerful language with the features we need to build modern, cloud-native applications.
