Understanding Match Types in Scala 3 | bishabosha
What are Scala 3 match types for and how do they work.
Explain to me how Scala can attract juniors to direct style when the majority of its current developers use effect systems?

Scala's Gamble with Direct Style
Scala does not move in the direction of more monadic IO, but rather in the direction of “direct style”, preferring continuations to monads, but...
Cool feature, don't forget to also check the documentation! #scala
Is there something wrong with my eyes, or is that really a Monoid in the presentation about Java? "What we propose here is most similar to Haskell's type classes" 🤯 #java 
Isn't it time to start porting core libraries like Cats to Scala 3 syntax, or would maintaining two versions be too much of a hassle? The next Scala LTS is coming very soon. #scala

Beware of leaking `Iterator` instances outside the scope you initialized it in.
Don't get me wrong, Amazon working on its own Linux-based OS is a good thing, but HTML-based applications instead of native ones? Brr...
I would really like to maintain more OSS libraries, but to be honest, most of the time I'm just fixing publish pipelines 😡
It's a paradox, but for me, it's much harder to reason about a program written in direct style. But hey, Ox turned into a production-ready library, so it's time to consider it a viable alternative! 🎉 #scala

Three tips when starting with FP in Scala:
👉 Use IO everywhere instead of the generic F[_]
👉 Focus on using existing typeclasses rather than creating your own from scratch
👉 Consider using Tapir to bypass the initial learning curve of http4s

There's a lot to be excited about in the upcoming Postgres 18. My favourite improvements are:
✅ UUID v7 for time-ordered, index-friendly IDs
✅ io_uring for major async I/O improvements
✅ Index skip scans for more efficient queries based on composite indexes #postgres
