Current state of Scala and WebAssembly Component Model

Recently, WASM is used in different areas: safely running AI-generated code, server-side applications with ultra-fast cold starts, and language-independent plugin systems.

Efficient Derivation With No Macros: Extending Scala 3 Mirrors with M&DE

Scala 3 Mirrors give you a type's shape, but not its custom field names, default values, or annotations, and they refuse value classes outright. M&DE derives an enriched mirror that carries all of that, plus Done, an operation-centric mirror for services and RPC interfaces, at a bytecode and compile-time cost a real codec library has now measured.

Scala 3.9 LTS released!

Scala 3.9.0 is both a new LTS baseline and a regular Scala release. It consolidates the changes since Scala 3.8, stabilises one language feature, and includes a broad set of compiler, standard-library, documentation, and tooling fixes.

okay

There's one thing nearly every effect library does the same way, and I think it's the wrong way. Okay is built the other way round. An effect is just a set of operations. A handler is an interpretation of them. A program declares in its type what it needs, and knows nothing about how that need will be met.
