Next time you hear there are no advantages to upgrading to Scala 3, feel free to share those examples 👇 #scala 
The first two tips are imo the most important. While everyone wants to try the new syntax, it's best to handle the breaking changes first (mostly codecs), go to production, and leave the fancy new stuff for the next iteration after things have settled down. https://nitter.net/kopaniev
Have you heard about Weaver? It's an extremely performant test framework built on top of Cats Effect and FS2, originally from Disney Streaming. #scala https://disneystreaming.github.io/weaver-test/ 
Yesterday's meetup in Prague with Li Haoyi convinced me to try Mill. Not because of the performance, but because of the baked-in support for publishing to Maven Central and because of how easy it is to write custom tasks.
I wonder what changes will be in the major version, when adding an MCP server is just a patch. 😀 View quoted note →
You may have heard about io_uring in the latest version of Cats Effect. Support for this relatively new Linux async interface is now available in Postgres 18 beta! And guess what! Tests are showing up to 2-3x performance improvements! 🤯 #postgres

If you think scala-cli is only good for sharing bug reports, you should play with it for some time or look at this video. It's actually a super powerful and versatile tool! #scala
After spending a couple of days with Nix, I found out that it's probably not for me. 😀 It's too much hassle for my use case. I decided to write a simple Scala CLI script on top of Brew and Stow instead. 🤷♂️ #nix #scala #brew #stow
Crucial Scala 3.7 news that might be overlooked: Android development is now unblocked! ✅ #scala
If you want mental exercise, there is an old article about the state machine. Build with Postgres. 😀 #postgres

Super interesting talk about how @Unison Programming Language works under the hood and why one wouldn't just use something like Akka Cluster, a bunch of services subscribed to Kafka, or even Spark for distributed computing. #unison
Scala 3.7 is here, featuring stabilized Named Tuples and Better Fors available under the new preview flag! 🎉 #scala 
Scala 3.7.0 released!
Who says a vacation with a two-year-old has to be about lying on the beach? 😀 Anyway, did anything major happen? I just read about Redis going back to open source and Epic winning against Apple. 
The worst thing about trying an electric car (we rented one on vacation) is that you start thinking about selling your petrol car after about 10 minutes of driving.
