What's coming in Scala 3

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Scala 3 shows concrete, testable changes for migrating Scala 2: @main for top-level mains and optional whitespace/block syntax, enums that compile to Java enums when possible, traits with constructor parameters, and dropping new for class construction. Contextual abstractions replace implicit with givens and summon for contextual parameters and explicit imports, functions-from-methods work with type params, union/sum types and improved pattern-match exhaustiveness, and inline + compile-time match and error enable typeclass derivation and faster metaprogramming without traditional macros.
