After a few rides with autopilot on, I found that the car can keep itself in the middle of the lane much more accurately than I can. Anyway, I wonder if I can get used to "not driving". It's so scary! 😀 #autopilot

Scala 3.7.2 is here! 🎉 I'm happy to see the automatic rewrite from implicits to givens using a compiler flag! 👍 But I'm less convinced by the experimental support for the INTO modified. 👎 #scala https://github.com/scala/scala3/releases/tag/3.7.2

What do languages such as Scala Native, Rust and Swift have in common? They all use LLVM to generate native executables for virtually any CPU architecture, from x86 servers to mobile ARM chips. Just like TypeScript or Elm transpile to JavaScript to run in any browser, modern native languages compile to an LLVM intermediate representation (IR). The LLVM toolchain then acts as the final step, turning that IR into a pure machine code.

Pattern matching and now for-comprehension. ThePrimeagen will be blown away if he ever tries Scala. #scala

There are over a million Scala developers. However, conference videos only get hundreds of views, and even the most popular ones from Rock the JVM only have a few thousand, which is about 0.4 % of all developers. Where is everybody? #scala https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q90QZ05wddU

The Stack Overflow 2025 survey results are online. Nothing has changed for Scala; it still has its 2.6%. Meanwhile, Rust and Kotlin are growing, while Java has declined slightly. Interestingly, I don't see Haskell on the list anymore. 😳 https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology #scala #java #rust #kotlin #elixir #fsharp #ocaml #gleam

Loving the new pretty-printing in the latest uTest update! ❤️ #scala https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/utest#090

Surprisingly, the part I thought would be straightforward (the frontend) was where the LLM ran into issues.

If you're on cats-effect 3.6.2, upgrade to 3.6.3 as soon as possible, as it turns out there is a huge bug! 🪲 #scala https://github.com/typelevel/cats-effect/releases/tag/v3.6.3
