Martin Odersky outlines the future of Scala, discussing Scala 2.12, the Scala Center, and the Dotty experimental platform.
This talk was recorded at Scala Days New York, 2016. Follow along on Twitter @scaladays and on the website for more information scaladays.org/. Abstract: After a fairly quiet 2015, things are heating up this year. To name just three major developments among many: A major new release, Scala 2.12, is about to be completed. The Scala Center provides a new focus point for community collaboration. And there's a new experimental platform, dotty, which lets us prototype designs for the next generation of the language. In my talk I'd like to look a bit further ahead and focus on where I see Scala in the next 5 years, touching topics like: What is Scala's unique identity as a programming language? How should it evolve? What exciting new technologies are on the horizon?Why it's here
