Abstracts & bios:
“Everything You Need to Know to Get Started with Caching in sbt 2.x”, Aleksandra Zdrojowa

The caching mechanism in build tools is essential for enhancing developer productivity by streamlining workflows. In this talk, I'll explore the new caching system in sbt 2.x and compare it to sbt 1.x. I'll explain the core caching concepts, which can aid in project migrations to sbt 2.x. The session will prioritize hands-on examples.

"Lightweight Declarative Scala Builds with Mill 1.1.0", Li Haoyi
The newest versions of the Mill build tool bring a new declarative configuration API, trading Mill's traditional Scala DSL for an ultra-lightweight YAML configuration to make configuration even simpler than it has been in the past. This talk will explore how Mill's declarative configuration API works, how it interoperates with Mill's traditional programmable configuration, and how we hope it will simplify working with small-scale Scala projects and streamline Scala's getting started experience.
