Getting Things Done in the Scala REPL

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Live demo shows using Ammonite REPL plus JVM library jsoup to scrape Wikipedia and MDN, parse headlines and first paragraphs, and write JSON files to disk; network requests use Ammonite’s requests helper and Maven-resolved jars. A small GitHub migration posts via the GitHub API and token, moving 12 issues migrated (titles, bodies, original author/number embedded) successfully. Parallel crawling uses a configurable 8-thread pool and futures to speed collection.
