Shapeless Meets Implicit Macros



Shapeless, allow me to introduce you to implicit macros.

Miles Sabin, the 1000th (or seemingly) Precog engineer to speak at this year NE Scala Symposium, demonstrates his project called shapeless. The project is designed to guide runtime behavior by making use of Scala’s implicit resolution mechanisms, but as Miles points out errors can often occur.
 
In this talk, Miles shows how incorporating implicit macros can make shapeless appear even more attractive.

We've got some great professional Scala training courses that will get you up and running very quickly! Plus, everything you might have missed from this year's Northeast Scala Symposium on the link below!
