Scalac's blog

En este artículo trataremos los principios de la programación funcional, y a continuación veremos cómo, gracias a Scala y ZIO, podemos crear aplicaciones que resuelvan problemas del mundo real. Como ejemplo ilustrativo, implementaremos el juego del ahorcado.

In this article, I will explain the principles of functional programming, and then demonstrate how, with the help of Scala and ZIO, we can create applications to solve real-world problems. As an illustrative example, we will implement a hangman game.

We’ve been writing more than ever this year with 36 articles about tech, business, and backstage at Scalac.

We already know the cases of companies big, and small adopting ZIO in their production apps. So, how is this change coming? Let’s explore it in more detail.

Queuing and messaging platforms have been gaining in popularity in recent years. They solve numerous problems based on asynchronous message passing or consumer and producer patterns. In this blog post, we're going to build a basic message broker functionality with ZIO for our internal clinic messaging system, specifically with ZIO Queues and ZIO Fibers.

In this guide, you’ll learn about the benefits of headless Shopify and how you can use the platform in your own company. Let's dive in!

What started as taking an online course just to be updated with the latest on a framework I like, turned out to be a lot of food for thought. And, ultimately, a good exercise regarding the best software development practices like separation of concerns, functional programming, and the practical limits of verifying the correctness of our software in compile time.

In this article, I’m going to introduce the main concepts behind this paradigm using the Scala programming language (In fact this was the language chosen as the Ruby replacement by Twitter :)).

In this article, we compare Tapir with endpoints4s. We highlight the differences by providing examples and explanations for the most common features you would like to have in your REST API. Both libraries only require you to describe the communication protocol in Scala. Once the communication protocol is written, you need to wire it with a specific HTTP Server (such as Akka HTTP) and/or body parsing (e.g. Circe). In the end, the library produces clients, documentation, and servers for you with implementations of your choices.

Every company has its own culture. So do we. We really love to work together as a team. Scalac started as a remote-friendly company without managers, and we continue with those values in mind. Remote work is only growing inside the company, and even though the flat structure isn’t that flat anymore you can still call our CEO by name, and we’ve got more roles rather than complicated structures. Startup atmosphere - as they call it - but we prefer to call it the Scalac’s atmosphere because we believe that the fact that we work hard, have fun, and do the right thing is something unique and great about our company.
