👉 A #Java library recommendation for tracking file system changes: directory-watcher by @gmethvin. On macOS, it's much faster than the NIO WatchService, as it's based on native FS events instead of polling.

We are proud to announce Dotty as feature complete with our new, 21st, release! 🎉 This release also brings exciting features such as explicit nulls, new syntax for `match` and conditional givens, and more. Read more in our blog: dotty.epfl.ch/blog/2019/12/2…
Play 2.8.0 Released!
It is not a milestone, nor a release candidate. This is a GA version, folks. Therefore, it deserves a blog post:
blog.playframework.com/play-…
It's mind-blowing that we've been complaining about how slow it is to publish to Maven Central for YEARS and we've just realized that there was an API to do bundle uploads that does significantly faster releases (1000s modules in 1min). I still cannot believe it.
It’s super-exiciting! Uploading thousands of files to Sonatype can be finished in a minute by using a bundle upload. github.com/xerial/sbt-sonaty…#Scala
First release candidate for Play 2.7 is here: blog.playframework.com/play-…
We expect it to be more stable than the milestone releases, not only in terms of functionality but also moving closer to the point of freezing the APIs.
Try it and let us know if you find any issues. :-)
I'm giving a talk this Friday with my colleague Jie about how we used Akka Streams and Alpakka Kafka to build our data ingestion pipeline at Iterable. If you're there come check it out! sched.co/FsTu@scalebythebay@scala_lang @akkateam #scalesf
Apparently, Slack doesn't have any plans to implement code highlighting for back ticks. Please retweet if you want code highlighting with ```js or ```php or ```py or anything else that GitHub supports. Let's show Slack how badly we need this.
I have seven (7) of these "scooter computers" to donate to a worthy cause (ideally underrepresented groups in tech). About ~$800 value each, fanless, i7-7500u, 250gb Samsung 860 EVO SSD, 16GB DDR4 (dual channel). Email me!
We're hosting a @ScalaBridge workshop at the @Iterable SF office on September 13-14. This event is intended to reach out to members of underrepresented groups who are interested in learning Scala. We're looking for students and volunteers! bridgetroll.org/events/444
