    Scala 3 is a new language, built on a new compiler platform. We put special emphasis on making it easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to scale. /1

    Exciting news: We are starting a large scale research project to develop a universal theory of resources and effects based on capabilities.

    They are finally in the box! 11 weeks of raw video footage for MOOCs from 1+1 = 2 to functional reactive programming. All in Scala 3. New topics: extension methods, enums, givens, opaque types, implicit function types.

    I am very saddened by this news. Niklaus got me into CS since I became fascinated by the beauty of his language designs and compiler architectures. And later he became the guiding mentor for my doctoral studies at ETH.

    We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

    Scala wins the SIGPLAN programming languages award! I'm very happy and thankful for this recognition.

    Among the clearest explanations of "why functional programming?" that I have seen:
    inner-product.com
    What Functional Programming Is, What it Isn't, and Why it Matters
    The core premise of functional programming, in my opinion, is that local reasoning and composition make for better code. Here I discuss what these terms mean and the benefits they bring.

    #ScalaThankYou you to @epfl for having given me the chance to pursue my dreams. And thank you to the Scala community for having turned them into a reality beyond my wildest expectations.

    I started a blog. In the first installment I write of some of my memories of Niklaus Wirth.

    Back on my 3yr old MacBook Pro after trying a new model for 3 months. Such a relief of not having to cope with the broken keyboard and touch bar anymore!

    Fleshed out proposal for typelevel programming in Scala 3:
    github.com
    Functional Typelevel Programming in Scala by odersky · Pull Request #4768 · scala/scala3
    Working draft document. Implementation is done elsewhere. I broke this out from #4616, so that language design and implementation can be discussed separately.
