ZIO Hackathon

ZIO Hackathon (online)

This official ZIO Hackathon is designed to bring together many core contributors to ZIO from all around the world, as well as current ZIO users, future ZIO users and contributors, and contributors to other libraries for async and concurrent programming in the broader functional Scala ecosystem.

We will share and learn about ZIO and related projects; chat about functional programming, functional Scala, and much more; work on fun projects; and get to know one another.

Note: No prior background knowledge of ZIO is assumed.

Agenda:

Friday, November 20st: Introductory talk (8 pm UK time)

Saturday, November 21st: ZIO Hackathon (Start: 10 am UK time)

• expert talks
• hands-on open-source coding, guided by expert mentors

Attendees can join breakout sessions to learn about specific aspects of ZIO (ZIO core, fibers, STM, execution traces, fiber dumps, ZIO test, ZIO config, etc.), and team leaders will help different groups work on core issues in ZIO, the ZIO ecosystem, and other related libraries in the functional Scala ecosystem.

Organization

About ZIO

ZIO is a zero-dependency Scala library for asynchronous and concurrent programming.

Powered by highly-scalable, non-blocking fibers that never waste or leak resources, ZIO lets you build scalable, resilient, and reactive applications that meet the needs of your business.

• High-performance. Build scalable applications with 100x the performance of Scala's Future.
• Type-safe. Use the full power of the Scala compiler to catch bugs at compile time.
• Concurrent. Easily build concurrent apps without deadlocks, race conditions, or complexity.
• Asynchronous. Write sequential code that looks the same whether it's asynchronous or synchronous.
• Resource-safe. Build apps that never leak resources (including threads!), even when they fail.
• Testable. Inject test services into your app for fast, deterministic, and type-safe testing.
• Resilient. Build apps that never lose errors, and which respond to failure locally and flexibly.
• Functional. Rapidly compose solutions to complex problems from simple building blocks.
