Scala Talks: Hands-On Capture Checking & Scala Native live-coding ☀️

🎉 Come along to the London Scala Talks! 🎉

Summer is upon us and it's time to get active!
What's more active than, not just one, but TWO cutting-edge Scala live-coding talks!? 💥 Check out the details of the talk below!

Agenda
6:00pm - 🥤 Doors open. Come along and grab a drink!
6:40pm - 🗣️ Nicolas Rinaudo: Hands-On Capture Checking
7:40pm - 🍕 Intermission: Join us for some free food and drinks! Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are provided. Let us know if you'd like something special - we'd be happy to accommodate.
8:15pm - 🗣️ Anton Sviridov: Scala Native Live-coding
~9:00pm - 🍻 Join us in the pub to discuss the talks!

This meetup will NOT have a livestream.

🗣️ Nicolas Rinaudo: Hands-On Capture Checking
Capture checking is an experimental Scala feature and one of the building blocks of the very trendy direct style programming. It’s also, not to put too fine a point on it, a little confusing. In this live coding session, we will explore the aspects that most Scala users will be exposed to, as understood by a regular developer after poring over the very academic documentation and experimenting with nightly builds.

⭐ Nicolas Rinaudo ⭐
Nicolas writes code for JPMorgan, where we use Scala to make some very complicated things seem very simple. After too many years as a Java programmer and a thankfully brief stint in marketing, Nicolas discovered Functional Programming through Scala and fell in love. Since then, he’s made it his mission to learn and explain the scary bits, by focusing on practical applications. Nicolas is also the author and sole maintainer of a few useful OSS libraries, such as kantan.csv - https://nrinaudo.github.io/kantan.csv/.

🗣️ Anton Sviridov: Scala Native Live-coding
Due to popular demand, Anton is back with more Scala Native!
He'll be taking us on a journey of working with C libraries, marrying C code with SN interop, and maybe writing some assembly.

⭐ Anton Sviridov ⭐
Scala enthusiast, open source contributor, and blog author. Worked in Data Science, distributed systems, and programming language tooling. Recently I have been diving deeper into systems programming languages and the lessons we can learn from them to be applicable to Scala Native.
