Besom, the Scala SDK for Pulumi, has just got it's 0.3.1 release and it's bringing a lot of new stuff! Improvements to JSON handling, new combinators, new docs, further tweaks to usability and finally - besom-cfg package. (1/3)

We've just published a new release of Besom, the Pulumi SDK for Scala. This time the big reveal is the preview version of besom-cfg. This module allows your app to declare required configuration (by simple `derives Configured` on your conf case class) and prevent…

Is Besom a game-changer for #Scala ? I hope so! For sure, it is the best implementation of infrastructure as code I have ever seen.

It is a solid foundation for the next levels of tools, opening the door to using Scala's superpower: composability, in the infrastructure space.

Might be worth rexwitting: using logback/log4j2 in Scala is really unnecessary. We have our own, massively better alternatives!

My goal of 'Lean Scala' would be to deliver working code quickly and confidently in teams.

Yes, speed and safety are at odds, so it's always a tradeoff - but I think with the right tools built on top of #Scala we can move the 'quick' slider quite far, without sacrificing too…

I would like to congratulate and thank Michał Matłoka for taking over the position of CTO SoftwareMill, thus allowing me to assume slightly different responsibilities (not going anywhere! :) ). We have been working with Michał for almost 11 years now, and he is as integral a part of…

#Scala rConf 2024 was fun. I learned new things, I met old friends, I made new acquaintances, and it felt good to be in the presence of such talented people.

10/10, will come again.

Beware, there is a new Scala 3 breakthrough in progress... Scalar Conference #scala #scala team Scala Space VirtusLab

Feedback needed! Come to the Scala Space & VirtusLab stand and answer the question 👇

For me, Lean Scala means productivity - not only when I am writing the code, but in 5 years when someone else will need to change that code.

Lean #Scala means code that is as easy to create as with dynamic languages (Python, I am looking at you) but is guarded by types

Yep, I borked it! Correct impl was even simpler than I thought. #Scala 3 is consistently surprising me with how much easier things are in comparison to Scala 2.

2024 in Scala will bring regular and frequent updates. With them, there will come a faster compilation, more robust tooling, and better reporting.
#Scala #roadmap #scala3

I am especially keen to see best-effort compilation - as this will be a game-changer for Metals.

We have seen a release of each of 4 (sic!) supported major #Scala versions. Scala is alive and kicking!

Discover the expanded capabilities of Scala 3 within your Bazel builds through rules_scala. Now's a great time for you to try it out and discover new possibilities for your projects.

If you ever hear that Scala doesn't treat compatibility story seriously please remember that 3.3.2 got declared excommunicado for breaking compat in a rare case where, uh <checks notes>, application code is on a LTS version older than a library it depends on.

The old repository - lampepfl/dotty - will redirect to the new one, so all your integrations will still work.

Would there be any interest in a coolify/heroku-like self-hosting platform based on Besom / Pulumi?
