The State of the IntelliJ Scala Plugin & Gearing towards Ox
We are back with our last meetup before the summer break. Join us on June 27th for a Krakow Scala User Group Meetup. As multiple previous times, the event will be held in English. Check out the details.
‘The State of the IntelliJ Scala Plugin 2024‘ - Maciej Gorywoda
It has been a year since the last report on the state of IntelliJ Scala Plugin. It’s time for a new one. We will talk about new exciting features that appeared both in IntelliJ IDEA and the Scala Plugin, improvements to the ones implemented before, and plans for the near future.
‘Gearing towards Ox: A look at structured concurrency and direct style Scala‘ - Tomasz Godzik
Since JDK 21 made an appearance together with the project Loom there was a large wave of enthusiasm for the future of simpler concurrency. This took shape in Scala with two new libraries Ox from SoftwareMill and Gears from EPFL. In this talk I want to first explain what is structured concurrency and direct style Scala. Later, investigate how to use both of these libraries, find some similarities and differences that could explain which one is better suited for your purpose. As I am normally a tooling developer, this will be very much akin to beginner view on this topic.
Speakers:
Maciej works at JetBrains, as a product marketing manager and sometimes Scala developer. In a different life he got an MSc in artificial neural networks, and coded video games in C++.
Tomasz has worked with multiple programming language tools through the years trying to provide a pleasant environment for other developers to interact with. Team lead of ScalaCLI and Metals teams at VirtusLab.
The event is sponsored by VirtusLab & Proxy Live Solutions.
