💡 I finally installed zoxide last week. If you haven't, do it now! It's a smarter cd command that learns your habits. No AI involved, just good old-fashioned statistics. Go watch this video, I promise you'll love it! ❤️ youtu.be/aghxkpyRVDY

Prague friends! 🇨🇿 The next Functional JVM meetup is happening on Feb 9th at Adastra. The topic is spicy, they are pitching it as "modern abstractions" that aren't just a copy of Haskell 😼 🏖️ I’ll be enjoying some time off so I can't make it. Register here: www.meetup.com/functional-j... #Scala

This video should have been called "The most complicated implementation of a Counter". I'm leaving with more questions than answers 😀 #scala youtu.be/cTKWpYMciV8

The newest release of Metals is one step closer to feature parity with IntelliJ! 🎉 Version 1.6.5 can now suggest methods from implicit classes that are not yet imported. This is a long-awaited feature! #scala

I just tried Slack AI, and it’s arguably the best use case for LLMs I’ve seen in a SaaS product. Look at this summary: 👇 Does MS Teams have the same feature?

Now it's official! 🎉 Go read the whole announcement 👇 www.scala-lang.org/news/3.8/ #scala

Hey, Scala early adopters! 🚀 Version 3.8.1 is technically out, but let's wait until everything is officially settled and announced, okay? The upgrade is huge, so it's completely understandable that there might be some minor linkage problems. 🛠️ #scala

I realized today while watching my son 🧒 try to get dressed: The peak of humanoid robotics isn't doing a backflip or writing code. It’s the ability to successfully put on a t-shirt and shoes 👕👟

🚨 Scala 3.8 deprecates `-Xfatal-warnings` in favor of `-Werror`. Be aware if you rely on `sbt-tpolecat` or `typelevel/scalac-options`, as they need to update their default flag sets.🚩 The fix is already in progress 👇 github.com/typelevel/sc... #scala

The first thing that hits you when starting with Go: "Wait, how do I implement this interface?" Well, you can't. Not explicitly. Go's philosophy is: If you walk like a Duck and quack like a Duck, the compiler just assumes you are a Duck. 🦆 #golang

Java doesn't support Higher Kinded Types. But with enough determination, boilerplate and type gymnastics, you can technically emulate them. 🤸‍♂️ #Java #Scala blog.scottlogic.com/2025/04/11/h...

Typeclasses in Java are taking shape! 🏗️ The first experiments have been merged, moving this from theory to reality! #java

Arguably the best resource for learning how to structure production-grade applications with Cats Effect and Fs2 is now completely free! 📖 Huge contribution to the community by @gvolpe.com 🙌 #Scala leanpub.com/pfp-scala

This feature in Scala 3.8 is so experimental that it doesn't even have a SIP yet! 😀 I hope I don't need to explain the code, but be warned: exhaustivity checking is currently broken for this 👇 #Scala

The last missing piece? 🧩 @zed.dev is finishing up a native Git Graph and it looks incredible! 🤩

🎉 Scala 3.8 is here! It shifts focus from new features to core infrastructure. By moving away from JDK 8 and implementing several internal refactorings, it lays a modern, stable foundation for the upcoming LTS. #Scala #JDK

Next on the list of Scala 3.8 experimental features: Flexible Varargs. Until now, passing multiple collections to a varargs method required manual concatenation. With this change, you can mix multiple splices and single arguments freely ✨#scala

How to access method default parameters via macro? 🧐 Pretty niche topic, but after reading you will learn: ✅ How some JVM internals work ✅ What the Selectable trait is ✅ About the transparent keyword halotukozak.github.io/posts/scala-...

I've started working on a project in Go - who would have expected that? 🤷 I'm treating it as a personal challenge. Sometimes you have to lose something to understand its value. #golang #scala

Scala 3.8 will bring several experimental features. One of them is the relaxed lambda syntax, where you don't need to put a newline after the colon. Haters of the braceless syntax will hate it even more! 😀 #scala

Hey, Java devs! If you're on JDK 17+, it's time to start using Sealed Classes to eliminate invalid states. On JDK 21+, combine them with Pattern Matching for a truly powerful result. The difference in conciseness and safety is incredible! 🚀 #java

This is a follow-up to the previous article about builder type gymnastics. This time, all the boilerplate code is hidden behind the macro. Sadly, under the Scala 2 macro 😐 #scala blog.rhetoricalmusings.com/posts/builde...

I played around with the new procedural SQL in Spark 4. It's wild. I like it. You'll probably hate it! 😀 #spark matejcerny.cz/en/apache-sp...

The SBT plugin absolutely no one asked for... but I built it anyway. 🤷‍♂️ You can now use HOCON files for your build configuration. It’s surprisingly clean. I’d love to hear your opinions 🙏 #scala github.com/matejcerny/s...

Apache Spark 4.1 is officially here and it's a massive release! 🔥 1️⃣ TIME WITH TIME ZONE: finally, proper timezone support! 🕒 2️⃣ WITH RECURSIVE: native support for recursive CTEs in SQL. 🔄 3️⃣ Real-Time Mode: sub-second latency (<300ms) for streaming. ⚡

Support for the Scala debugger in Zed is almost ready! Give this guy some love, he deserves it! ❤️ #scala github.com/scalameta/me...

Did you know there’s a Functional Programming course you can download right into IntelliJ? It includes 8 lessons and 40 challenges on everything from Immutability to Monads. 🧠 #scala

Anyone who has ever implemented AWS request signing manually will be pleased to know there is an http4s module for it 👇 #scala github.com/maginepro/ht...

Another year of new habits and milestones. Here are the highlights that stand out: 1️⃣ Started a new chapter working for SiriusXM 📻 2️⃣ Continued sharing my passion for tech, (re)posting over 400 articles, videos and tips 💡

Another effect system? 🙄 I usually avoid sharing these because I hate fragmentation and this one is still experimental. However, λÆS deserves a look. It implements a unique direct style approach, and the progress is impressive. 🚀 (Also, there is a cats-effect integration!) #scala

Super important video on how the CPU actually handles threads and memory access, and why it matters for your app's performance. Watch this to see how cats-effect outperforms standard Spring architecture 👇 #scala #java www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcJ_...

In Czech, Chanterelle 🍄 is called "the fox". 🦊 In Scala 3, it means easy named tuple manipulation. A handy utility library from the author of ducktape. #scala github.com/arainko/chan...

Watch how to use opaque types in some more advanced situations (like hiding Monad Transformers in a DSL) 🤸 #scala www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PJF...

Everyone has a different reason for picking up Scala. What was yours? #scala contributors.scala-lang.org/t/how-did-yo...

This is HUGE! 🎉 You can now use your own LLM keys in IntelliJ without needing to pay a separate subscription for Junie! No more clunky Claude beta plugins! Trying it right now and it works like a charm! 🤩 #claude #llm blog.jetbrains.com/ai/2025/12/b...

Another prominent Scala developer is taking an interest in Rust. Whether you're a Scala developer expanding your stack or a Rust developer curious about Scala, this tutorial is a great start, even if it's only the first chapter so far. #scala #rust rossabaker.com/blog/rust-bo...

Finally, a true dedicated Scala IDE! 🚀 (Just kidding, I swapped the IntelliJ icon 😀) #scala

Walkthrough and initial impressions of the Krop framework for Scala 3 from Jakub Kozłowski. #scala youtu.be/lY88Z1JnUpI

A very well thought-out video! The thing is, most Scala influencers are seniors who use effect systems, so expecting them to market simple libraries is unrealistic, at least. #scala www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9wJ...

With Mill moving to YAML, what do you think about sbt's configuration in HOCON? #scala

A perfect guide for writing more expressive, efficient code in languages which do not support laziness natively. #scala #javascript #swift matt.might.net/articles/imp...

For those who are stuck on Scala 2.12, there is a new patch version supporting JDK 25 and 26. #scala github.com/scala/scala/...

It would be so cool if @github.com integrated the releases section right into the main menu! 🔥

When I look at what Tomasz is doing, it’s clear that Scala tooling needs more people like him! #scala youtu.be/y18_oHTi53g

This is a huge day for the entire Rust community! Congratulations 👏 #rust lwn.net/Articles/104...

"Where Jira meets the command line", do I need to say more? Well, unfortunately, I was not able to connect it with our on-prem Jira server 🥹 jiratui.sh #jira

This is what, at least the third version in a row where IntelliJ supports features from the upcoming Scala version before it's even released? Awesome job! 🙌 #scala blog.jetbrains.com/scala/2025/1...

I have a confession to make. In my entire career, I think I’ve explicitly used Coursier exactly once. And that was only to get the Metals integration working with Zed. #scala

You all saw the ad for the Brilliant app, right? It's on almost every tech video. But did you know that it's built with Elm? Great talk from Evan Czaplicki covering several strategies on how to grow more functional programmers 🌳 #elm youtu.be/9OtN4iiFBsQ

It's Advent of Code time again. 🎄 If you haven't tried Scala yet, this is the perfect opportunity. But don't take my word for it, check out what these three random guys on the internet have to say. 🤣 👇 #scala #AdventOfCode
