Scala Compiler Plugins 101

Scala compiler plugins: what are they, how do they work, what can they do? What plugins are popular? You’re probably already using some, perhaps without knowing it. First we’ll survey the plugin landscape, then in the second half of the talk, you’ll learn how to write your own plugin.
