- Everything can be nested in a module.
- Everything can be parameterized with a module.
- Module types are interfaces, which can be abstracted.
In this talk Martin will present DOT, a particularly simple calculus that can express systems following these principles. DOT has been developed as the foundation of the next version of Scala. He will also report on dotty, a new Scala compiler that implements the constructs of DOT in its core data structures and that uses the lessons learned to drive Scala's evolution.
