In this talk, we will take a tour around the `error` function. Starting from the simple use-cases and ending up with sophisticated yet developer-friendly error messages.
Among the many new features that landed in Scala 3, one of the lesser-known ones is the `compiletime.error` function. This seemingly simple function lets us define custom compile-time errors, bringing us a great leap forward in Scala's ability to provide developer-friendly compile-time safety.
But nothing is without complication. Despite the benefits, to fully utilize the power of the `error` function, for better or for worse, one has to take a deep dive into Scala's novel compile-time programming techniques. And what an exciting dive it is.
In this talk, we will take a tour around the `error` function. Starting from the simple use-cases and ending up with sophisticated yet developer-friendly error messages. Guided by a practical example, we will see how and why we can use the `error` function, as well as the accompanying compile-time programming techniques that will allow our error messages to really shine.
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 my talk I will guide you through a deployment of a complete AI-based web service using Besom, Scala SDK for Pulumi.
Join me in a talk empowering you to build Scala applications that not only excel internally but also deliver optimal experiences from an external perspective.
In this talk, we will start with the basics, understanding what build caching is and why it can be a bit tricky to handle in real projects.
