Discussion Panel on Direct Style Scala

Let’s meet at the next KSUG meetup. Join us on April 18th. This time, the event will be held in Polish. Check out the details.

The KSUG will consist of a discussion panel on one of the hottest topics in the Scala world - Direct Style Scala. What will be the future way of expressing effectful computation in Scala? After the discussion, we’ll continue networking over a beer. Make sure to mark your attendance!

Panelists:

Adam Warski

I am one of the co-founders of SoftwareMill, where I code mainly using Scala and other interesting technologies. I am involved in open-source projects, such as sttp, tapir, Quicklens, ElasticMQ and others. I have been a speaker at major conferences, such as JavaOne, LambdaConf, Devoxx and ScalaDays. Apart from writing closed- and open-source software, in my free time I try to read the Internet on various (functional) programming-related subjects. Any ideas or insights usually end up with a blog (https://softwaremill.com/blog)
