Krzysztof Romanowski: VirtusLab, a Tooling Powerhouse
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks! I'm your host Chris and I have another exciting episode for you today. If you've been paying attention to where a handful of my guests work you'll have noticed a trend of VirtusLab employees. If you're also paying attention to who's been contributing to the Scala 3 compiler, tooling, and pushing for various efforts like scala-cli and the Scala Toolkit, you'll see their name everywhere. This month I though I'd shift gears a little bit and instead ...

Gabriele Petronella: The Scala Improvement Process (SIP)
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks! I'm your host Chris and I have an episode for you today that I've wanted to do for quite some time. Early on when I was first getting started with open Source Gabriele was one of the first people I interacted with. He's got a ton of experience with the Scalameta toolchain, and is one of the "founding fathers" of Metals. Furthermore, he's also part of the SIP (Scala Improvement Process) committee for Scala 3. In this talk we'll dive into the SIP p...

Filip Zybała: Scaladoc from Scratch
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks! I'm your host Chris and I have another great episode for you this month. For a while now I've wanted to have an episode focused on the new Scaladocs for Scala 3. Completely re-written and hosting some great new features like being able to generate your entire static site, your blog and along with your API docs, as well as hoogle-like search. This episode I was able to sit down with Filip, who's spent the past couple years focused on Scaladocs and...

Jeremy Smith: Polynote and Notebooks
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks! I'm your host Chris and I'm excited to share this episode with you. This past month I was able to sit down with Jeremy Smith and talk Notebooks, something I've been wanting to focus an episode on for a while. If you're familiar at all with Notebooks in Scala you're probably aware of Polynote, which was started by Jeremy and was the focus of our discussion. It was a pleasure to have him share his thoughts about notebook usage, building a new noteb...

Anton Sviridov: Part 1 - The Scala Cross Platform Story
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks! I'm your host Chris and we have yet another great episode for you this month. In fact, it's so great, that it will actually be two parts. For this first episode with Anton we got to chat about all things cross building, the various platforms you can run your Scala code on, and also about the work it takes to not only maintain projects with multiple Scala versions, but also for those various platforms. Anton has been an absolute joy to interact wi...

Amina Adewusi: Let's Talk about Newcomers
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks. I'm your host Chris and this month I was able to have an episode fully focused on something I've been wanting to cover for a while, the beginner experience in Scala Tooling. I'm incredibly grateful that Amina Adewusi was willing to take some time and dive into the topic with me. You may know Amina from the conference she created, Scalabase, which is a conference focused on newcomers to Scala, or maybe her course Learning Scala on LinkedIn, which ...

Gabriel Volpe: A look at Nix and Scala
Welcome back to another episode of Tooling Talks. I'm your host Chris and this month I'm excited to sit down with another Neovimmer, Gabriel Volpe. You may know him from his books "Practical FP in Scala" or "Functional Event-Driven Architecture", his work maintaining multiple open source libraries, or maybe some of his talks online.

Alex Archambault: Coursier and scala-cli - Changing the Way You Start Scala
Welcome to another episode of Tooling Talks, I'm your host Chris Kipp and I'm excited to share another interview with you this month. Whether or not you're familiar with it, if you're a Scala developer more than likely somewhere in your tool chain you're using Coursier. It's almost a no brainer that in the Scala ecosystem if you need to resolve some dependencies, quickly install a scala program, or quickly see the dependency tree of an artifact, it's the tool to use. That's why I'm so excited to...

Rebecca Mark: Unison - A New Approach
If you've been listening to the show for a while you'll have heard the name Unison pop up a few times. Unison aims to reimagine how many aspects of programming languages work, which can also radically challenge the status quo of developer tooling. This month it was joy to sit down with Rebecca Mark and talk all about how approaching development through unison is a totally new experience. Everything from tracking changes in your code, how your code is stored, and how you write your code is new. S...

Guillaume Martres: An Interactive Compiler
Welcome to tooling talks, where every month I sit down with someone working in tooling, learn how they got there, and gain some insight into the work they do. This month I had the privilege to sit down with Guillaume Martres, one of the core contributors on the Dotty team from EPFL and chat all about the Scala 3 compiler and what it means to have interactivity in mind when working on a compiler in regards to tooling. We talked about the importance of upstreaming changes, de-duplicating efforts, ...

Eugene Yokota: Coding with Friends and sbt.
This month I had the pleasure to sit down with Euguene Yokota and talk about some fascinating topics that range from coding on the weekend with friends, to being a maintainer of one of the most widely used tools in the Scala ecosystem, to the importance of diversity and inclusion in order for Scala not only to grow, but to maintain the numbers it has. You may know Eugene from being the maintainer of sbt, the tremendous amount of work he's put into Scala build tooling, his blog that has a great m...

Justin Kaeser: The Build Server Protocol and IntelliJ
If you're a Scala developer there is almost no doubt you use either IntelliJ or Metals with your editor of choice. Whether you're using IntelliJ, or Metals which utilizes BSP, or maybe even IntelliJ with BSP, you're using some of the handy work of Justin. This month Justin and I sit and chat all about IntelliJ and Scala, the Build Server Protocol, and what some of the future of programming could look like in Scala. I'm pretty fascinated with this topic lately and looking at the current limitatio...

Meriam Lachkar: Scala 3 Migration Tooling
A question I'm sure many Scala developers and companies are asking themselves this year is "how can we migrate our applications to Scala 3?". A fantastic tool to help with this is Scala3-migrate, which will help with migrating your scalacOptions, ensuring your dependencies are published for Scala 3, and even helping to automatically re-write parts of your code. In this interview I chat with Meriam and her work on Scala3-migrate, the challenges you might encounter as you're migrating your code, a...

Ólafur Páll Geirsson: The Scalameta World
It's incredibly fitting that my first guest for tooling talks is Olaf. Just about two year ago I sent an email to Olaf, introduced myself, told him I loved Metals and that I wanted to help. This ultimately lead to my affinity with Developer tooling and also my entryway into that world. You may know Olaf from the impressive amount of tools that's he's either authored or worked on. I'm sure you probably use some of them. Metals, the Scala Language server, Scalafmt, the defacto formatter for Scala,...
