Come to hear a story, leave making plans for a trip to Ukraine. We will tell you about how Scala came to Ukraine, who was the first to use it and how, but also who are the people of the Ukrainian Scala community, what are their thoughts and plans, and how you can get involved.

"Alice And The Return To The World Of Pods And Higher-Order Functions" by Roksolana Diachuk at Functional Scala 2022. Alice discovered in the records of the past that all the pods disappeared. Desperate to save her friends Alice needs to travel back to the world of pods and higher-order functions. To build a bridge with that world Alice is going to rely on the power of ZIO K8s. Join Alice in her exploration of this library and her rescue mission.

AdTech is a very innovative sphere and brings more and more attention now with the removal of cookies. Captify is one of the industry players and is the largest independent holder of user search data outside of Google. But how do companies like Captify leverage big data to find solutions for advertising problems? Which problems can be solved using big data? And where’s Scala in all of that? You will find out in this talk by Roksolana Diachuk! #functionalscala #FunScala2021 #Scala #zio #Ziverge #zymposium #functionalprogramming #scaladeveloper #zioscala

Alice found out that her friends from the world of pods and higher-order functions are in danger. The key to their happy future is their turbulent past.
