Hear from Li Haoyi on "What the com-lihaoyi ecosystem needs from Scala ».

The com-lihaoyi ecosystem is a significant pillar of the Scala community. Not the most popular or the most sophisticated platform, but it provides a way of writing Scala that is newbie-friendly and very different from the various reactive and pure-functional platforms out there. This talk will cover what the com-lihaoyi ecosystem is, how it uses the Scala language today, and what it needs from Scala going forward.

Li Haoyi graduated from MIT with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering, since then has built core infrastructure for high-growth companies like Dropbox and Databricks, and has been a major contributor to the open source community. His projects have over 10,000 stars on Github, and are downloaded over 20,000,000 times a month. Haoyi has deep experience in the JVM and has professionally built distributed backend systems, programming languages, high-performance web applications, and much more.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
