In this session, I will guide you through two recent additions to Ox that I helped implement: channel operators and retries.

Ox is a toolkit for safe direct-style concurrency and resiliency in Scala 3 on the JVM. It leverages the latest features of the JDK, such as virtual threads and structured concurrency.
In this session, I will guide you through two recent additions to Ox that I helped implement: channel operators and retries.
We will begin by exploring the principles of interacting with Ox channels, including how to send and receive elements, and how to signal completion or errors. Then, we will build an operator from scratch to understand the guidelines for creating your own operators.
In the second part, I will delve into the design process of one of Ox's resiliency mechanisms: retries. We will discuss the goals, choices, and potential future improvements of this feature.
Join me for a fun and possibly opinionated talk about the state of Scala and other JVM languages.
This talk is my slightly expanded version of that statement, and should hopefully understand what "Free" is, what purpose it serves and where it came from.
In this talk, I will cover three key concepts that emerged from reflecting on this past year of learning: making mistakes, helping others to help you and finding community.
In this beginner-friendly talk we'll try to find out using the power of Scala and functional programming techniques.
This talk aims to equip the audience with the minimum required bagage to get comfortable working with contravariance.
