Have you ever wondered how to build automatic derivation? If you want to know more about this mechanism in Scala 3, I have written something about it. gilwath.com/articles/sca... #scala #scala3 #typeclass

Automatic Typeclass Derivation in Scala 3

Building a Debuggable typeclass from scratch and teaching the Scala 3 compiler to derive it for any case class or enum, using Mirror and inline metaprogramming.

i just released a new blog post (part 1 of 2) discussing the well-known paper "the ironies of automation" and what its findings mean for the current agentic ai automation move (spoiler: quite some questions we still need to find answers for). enjoy if you like ... ;) www.ufried.com/blog/ironies...

Today, instead of announcing a new feature, we would like to ask you about a possible new one. 🔎 In some other languages, it's possible to evaluate inline with the `>>>` symbol in a comment. This gives you a quick ability to evaluate some code. Should we add it to Metals?

scala if its community management was a true opened and welcoming meritocracy and not driven by politics

Honest question: is there still a chance scala community steering will stop its self-destruction management soon ? (zio excluded, kyo excluded and now abandoned, key innovators and evangelists leaving, ...) Seriously, community is shrinking, innovation is leaving, commercial opportunity is vanishing

Comparing python vs scala community steering : one is incredibly successful, the other 'not so much'. Python also had to overcome similar challenges (eg: v2 to v3). Scala Center should take some inspiration from them.

Utterly disgusted by Scala Center people and toxic 'culture' : they are so 'welcoming' and 'successful' that they push Kit Langton, John Degoes (ZIO) or Flavio Brasil (KYO) and many other to leave or take distance from scala. I'm so disgusted right now. They are actively killing Scala

I want to introduce to you my very recent library: zio-http wrapper for pac4j. pac4j is an easy and powerful security framework for authenticating users, getting their profiles, and managing authorizations to secure web applications and services. github.com/seroperson/z... #scala #zio #pac4j

To support the very first zio-http-pac4j release, I also wrote an article: 🔍 seroperson.me/2025/09/03/z... It shows in details how to implement a JWT-based authorization for zio-http and also covers such features as token expiration, encryption, roles and custom payload. #scala #zio #jwt #pac4j

I believe that regarding the deep fractures in the scala community no one can say Scala Center demonstrated a successful leadership (to say the least) and we're now in really serious danger zone. Hope people in charge will overcome denial and change direction for the best
