IntelliJ Scala Plugin in 2025 | The IntelliJ Scala Plugin Blog IntelliJ Scala Plugin in 2025 This is a blog post about the main changes to the Scala Plugin in 2025, the results of the State of Developer Ecosystem Survey, and a few other things.

Better late than never! Our year-in-review report is finally here, with a breakdown of what the IntelliJ Scala Plugin team accomplished in 2025. We’ve been busy at conferences, on YouTube, and gearing up for Scala 3.8.

By the way I am taking lead on the Scala standard library project and am open here for suggestions on what we should be working on - the sky is the limit! Or find the contributors forum post.

Making ScalaSql boring again (with interesting new internals) | bishabosha Explaining the motivation for the new SimpleTable feature for the ScalaSql library.

I had fun contributing the new SimpleTable class to the ScalaSql query library. It lets you drop the `T[_]` from table definitions, and it's based on named tuples and structural types in Scala 3.7. Have a read.

I only use make as a glorified shell script wrapper - it’s only calling scala command underneath. You will need node.js though

sorry I missed it!

Yes, what if we used raw named tuples as config - treat it like a type level tree, and built dependently typed website generators with it, lovely! anyway you can see how it works and hopefully use it for other useful tasks when im finished.
