Dmitry has been working on Scala since 2013 when he joined Martin Odersky's research lab at EPFL, working on ScalaBlitz, macro-generated collections for Scala. Since 2015, he has been working on the Dotty Compiler. He designed Mini-Phases, ported the JVM backend, implemented support for Java 8 lambdas and default methods along with various other parts of the compiler, including the pattern matcher, lazy vals, tail recursion transformations and parts of erasure and mixin composition.He is currently working on implementing the Dotty Linker, an optimizing compiler based on Dotty.
