Report: where are we going with the Standard Library?

Session Abstract

This is an experience report on the process and progress of improving the Standard Library, Scala Toolkit and other core Scala modules under the resources provided by the Sovereign Tech Agency.

Session Description

Depending on circumstantial changes and progress reached by October the precise contents could change.
However the talk would cover the process of delivering on the project: i.e. on which areas we put focus; limitations (i.e. when you have to say no to “can’t you just do X”), and hopes for future. For example beyond concrete code proposals/delivered changes, there is plenty of material to draw from such as various community proposals, an appriasal of the state of the library ecosystem, report contents for the STA (including a roadmap of ideas that may not land but were at least considered.)
