In-depth tutorial from @npub1agvu...acq5 on what WebSockets are and how to implement them in Scala using http4s. #scala #websockets

WebSockets in Scala: Part 1 - http4s

Learn how to implement WebSockets in Scala with http4s to enable seamless two-way communication between your frontend and backend

Bitcoin doesn't have account numbers; it has UTXOs. Think of them like cash (individual bills 💵) in a digital wallet. If you want to pay $12, you might use a $10 bill and a $5 bill (inputs of the transaction), and the receiver gives you back $3 (a new Unspent Transaction Output = UTXO). Learn how this elegant system works 👇 #bitcoin #utxo

Every time I try a new, shiny LLM on Scala, I fail miserably. I wonder if it's because they haven't seen enough Scala code during training. But does this mean new languages or features will die out if LLMs only work well with the most popular ones?

Java 23 is looking... suspiciously like Scala from two decades ago! 😉 Jokes aside, I'm glad that Java is evolving. It makes the transition to truly modern languages like Scala even smoother! Welcome to the (slightly delayed) party, Java! #java #scala

😮 Java 23 is a COMPLETELY different language than the one most of us grew up with. | Michael Drogalis

😮 Java 23 is a COMPLETELY different language than the one most of us grew up with. On the left is Java 7. On the right is 23. Besides being sho...

So it begins. Apple reportedly disabled iCloud end-to-end encryption in the UK after a government demand for backdoor access. #privacy #apple #uk

It looks like Spark is not as huge as I thought it would be. The question is - did I have the wrong expectation, or are the numbers so small because many Spark projects have migrated to Python? #scala #spark #python

I usually avoid tasks involving CI/CD pipelines, but I managed to create some cool automation (despite occasionally yelling at my screen 😀). 1. Using Tapir, I built an sbt task to generate OpenAPI specs. 2. The release job executes this task, uploading the YAML to our MkDocs-based knowledge base. 3. The Swagger UI plugin now lets everyone view service APIs without checking production's /docs endpoints. Time to buy the author of the plugin coffee 🙌

You've probably heard of Kyo, but maybe you were too lazy to read all the documentation or try it out yourself (I know I was! 😀). Watch this live demo, as Kyo will soon reach version 1.0. #scala #kyo #algebraiceffectsystem

Literal types in Scala 2 were interesting, but it's Scala 3's union types that make them truly useful. #scala

Sounds like a plan for a summer holiday ⛰️ 🙌 Scala Days 2025 🗓️ 19-21 August 2025 📍Lausanne, Switzerland

Kudos to @IntelliJ Scala team to already suggesting Scala 3.6 syntax ♥️ #scala #intellij

Imagine a web framework written in Gleam that uses the Elm architecture, but with components, and communicates with the backend via WebSockets. 🤩 #elm #gleam #erlang @Hayleigh Thompson

If you use Tapir, you'll almost definitely deal with some form of error handling. Recently, a default way to do this with custom case class was added to the examples folder, so check it out 👇 #scala #tapir #circe

Choosing a new language? Look for algebraic data types, pattern matching, immutability by default, and NO nulls. #nogo @Nicolas Rinaudo

"Pure functions are basically lookup tables" @Richard Feldman Did you know that the first DOOM used lookup tables to calculate goniometric functions?

After so many years using Scala, I discovered this awesomeness. On X! 😁 #scala #sbt

I doubt I'll manage to read all the books I'd hoped to this year. Thanks a lot, Warhorse Studios 😀 #KCD2
