🎬 Scala Days 2025

I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Scala Days 2025 in Lausanne. The talk was titled “Yo Dawg, Heard You Want To FlatMap Your Direct-Style”. I talked about the challenges of using direct-style programming in Scala and how we can leverage the power of effect systems to make our code more expressive and easier to reason about. The talk was well-received, and I had a great time interacting with the audience and answering their questions.

You can find the slides 📊 for the talk here. Here is the video recording:

The talk was an introduction to the concepts behind my library called YAES. Please leave a star ⭐ if you like it! I am looking for contributors to help me improve the library and add new features. If you’re interested, please reach out to me on GitHub or X.

The Ticino Software Craft Meetup gave me the opportunity to give a talk about my library YAES, which is an effect system for Scala. We did an excursus on Effect Systems in Scala, starting from the monadic effects in Cats Effect, going through the ZIO effect system, and Jyo and finally arriving at YAES.
