I'm going to be speaking at Scala.IO about porting the Mill build tool to Scala 3! tips about metaprogramming and more

🚀 Scala 2.13.15 is here! This release improves compatibility with JDK 23, supports Scala 3.5, improves Scala 3 cross-building and migration, improves warnings and lints, and more. There are also a few minor breaking changes. Details: github.com/scala/scala/re…

#Scala.js 1.17.0 is here, and it ships with experimental WebAssembly support! Try and give the new Wasm backend for a spin and give us feedback. scala-js.org/news/2024/09/2…

Yay, this is the first step to removing the JS dependency from Scala.js Wasm module 🎉 github.com/scala-js/scala…

🚨 Important notice 🚨 Keep using Scala 3.5.2 version until 3.6.2 is released, ~late November. Read more details here: Postmortem of Scala 3.6.0 scala-lang.org/news/post-mort…

When I was at Scala.IO on the side I managed to hack around and get some Pizza code compiling (you could write this in 1997!)

Latest Mill build tool issue bounties: 8,500USD up for grabs to implement Python and Typescript support. If you're interested in picking up some fun open source work and make some cash doing so, check it out github.com/orgs/com-lihao…

Scala Plugin 2024.3 is out! This latest update brings: -Support for transparent inline methods (experimental), named tuples, and opaque types -Better handling of Scala CLI projects -A new project model for sbt (beta) -AI multiline code completion And more: blog.jetbrains.com/scala/2024/11/…

Quickest I ever deployed anything probably Mimalyzer: check if a change triggers a MiMa problem Try it: mimalyzer.fly.dev Code: github.com/keynmol/mimaly… Template: github.com/indoorvivants/… It's built in like 40 minutes, so it will constantly crash, bye :P

Added tasty-mima compatibility to Scala 3. At this point I think it's feature complete with the exception of saving/sharing results. Mimalyzer: mimalyzer.fly.dev TASTy-MiMa: github.com/scalacenter/ta…

I really like where sbt is going. Performance optimisations, simplification and collaboration from Scala Center!

We've also started cross publishing the metals plugin for SBT 2 if anyone wants to try. It will currently work via sbt BSP and under newest nightly.

While recording the Scala metaprogramming course, I just realized: Scala is an outstanding tool to teach people to write their own compiler/programming language. Manipulating ASTs and seeing generated code in real time is magic.
