Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library.
Discover how functional programming can inspire creativity with the Scala Sampler, a digital music instrument developed for the Sounds of Scala web audio library. This talk will showcase how Scala is as much a medium for artistic expression as it is for software development. We’ll start by breaking down the sampler’s implementation using Scala 3, Scala.js, and Typelevel Cats, then dive into its creative applications by composing arpeggio patterns with functional programming principles.
Along the way, I’ll share insights from my work in development and music production, showing how functional programming uniquely enhances artistic projects. This talk is designed for newcomers to Scala and functional programming, as well as music enthusiasts, aiming to inspire developers to explore the creative side of Scala and its applications in the arts.
In this talk, we'll cover the essentials of macros, why they are useful, why you should care about them, and how to become as good as you need with them for practical purposes.
During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
In this talk, I will discuss why it's hard to use the power of RT to test side-effect-heavy apps.
In this talk, I'll walk you through coding and design practices I've developed over the years, whilst onboarding new graduates into world of Scala (be it typelevel based API, Spark based ETL, or ML pre and post-processings), and how I made the process easier for people who didn't have much Scala experience beforehand.
In our talk, we will introduce a novel approach to system design— TypeOps — in which the application and infrastructure layers are fused to provide unprecedented safety and productivity for Scala teams.
