Guide to the new named tuples feature in Scala 3.7
Plenty of demos showing how to get the most from named tuples and structural typing- data query, big data, servers/clients with (in my opinion) lightweight code

Jamie Thompson explores the new named tuples feature in Scala 3.6 and how to use them for structural typing and DSLs.
Scala 3.6 stabilises the Named Tuples proposal in the main language. It gives us new syntax for structural types and values, and tools for programmatic manipulation of structural types without macros. Can we, and should we, push it to the limit? Of course! let's explore DSL's for config, data, and scripting, for a more dynamic feel. scalar-conf.com/ Scalar Conference 2025 powered by SoftwareMill #scalarconfWhy it's here

…n types of libraries (any type of ser-des). Well type classes in general have a lot of advantages compared to subtype inheritance.
7. Tuples are very powerful in Scala 3, with 3.7 named tuples are being added, it's getting capabilities similar to a structural type system, but it needs more work, to be easy to use. (Interesting video about this: link to this video…
