42: Rise of the dependent types
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Scala is a language with a very sophisticated type system. It is even said to be the "poor-man's prolog". As part of his hacker-time (20% time program) at SoundCloud, George collaborated with Eugene Burmako to explore the possibility of adding an accessible way to use literal-based singleton types to scala.
In simple words, this project will let scala programmers use values at type-level, allowing a lot of compelling use-cases. The talk will show where and how literal-based singleton types can be (and in some cases already are) useful.

George Leontiev
George became interested in Scala right after he graduated from university. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, he switched to full-time Scala programming, and has never looked back. Nowadays he's working on backends at SoundCloud, and contributing to opensource on his free time.
