See all- Get more clarity with opaque types & Scala on GPUsHevre, Kraków
We are back with a new meetup after the summer break. Join us next week on 26th September for a Krakow Scala User Group Meetup. As multiple previous times, the event will be held in English. Check out the details. ⬇️
🎙️ ‘Get more clarity with opaque types in Scala 3‘ - Magda Stożek
Types are a programmer's best friend. In the pursuit of a perfect world, we try to model our domains in such a way that the type system makes incorrect data impossible. In Scala 2, we have tools like type aliases, value classes or Refined Types. In Scala 3, there's something new for this purpose - opaque type aliases. What do they bring to the table? Will they make our life easier? Do they have any drawbacks? Join this live demo session to learn all that and add this new tool to your modelling toolbox!
🎙️‘Scala on GPUs: Let's write a raytracer‘ - Szymon Rodziewicz
GPUs make it possible to write performant programs that would be virtually impossible to create with much more common, CPU-based approach. So far, GPU programs were written in low level languages and using inconvenient tools - such as CUDA or OpenCL. However, recently, me and my friend created a tool that lets you run Scala directly on GPUs - Scalag. In this talk I will use it to create a GPU ray tracer and we will get really creative with it.

🎙️ Magda Stożek
Magda is a senior Scala developer at SoftwareMill. She's a fan of strongly-typed languages and enjoys trying to find "the right way" of doing things. Being a passionate foreign languages learner, she wanted to become a translator. The nuances of interpretation help her today in translating the clients' and users' needs into code. She loves solving real-life problems, and creating features that bring value.🎙️ Szymon Rodziewicz
Szymon is a software engineer who worked at the Scala 3 Compiler Team. He regularly contributes to the Scala 3 compiler and Scala documentation. In the past, he led the Scala Toolkit project. His interest lies in making programming languages accessible and comfortable to work with. Contributor and ex-leader of the Kraków Scala User Group.The event is sponsored by VirtusLab & Proxy Live Solutions.
