Scala Days 2025: Conference Highlights and Talk Recordings

[NewsBot]

A new Scala blog post/announcement has been posted!

This summer, the Scala Center celebrated 15 years of Scala Days, returning this August to its birthplace: Lausanne, Switzerland. The recordings of all the talks are now available on the Scala Days YouTube channel, and with that, here are some closing remarks, and a look ahead to the future.

The theme Functional Programming And The Real World attracted 57 excellent talks, and with 5 workshops, 27 sponsors, around 300 attendees, including several co-located events, the town was buzzing with Scala energy. We heard that in a bar far from the conference center, a local bartender proudly welcomed Scala enthusiasts after spotting the logo on their T-shirts and, to everyone’s delight, replied:

“Of course we know Scala, it was designed here at EPFL!”

Even the journey was part of the fun: thanks to the London Scala User Group, attendees boarded the Scala Jam Train from London through Paris — a rolling meetup that brought the community together before the first talk even began.

This wonderful experience was only possible thanks to the many hands and hearts behind the scenes and on the stage.

• Attendees — for your questions, hallway conversations, and enthusiasm that filled Lausanne with Scala spirit.
• Organizers — for months of planning, coordination, and care that made it all seamless.
• Program Committee — for building such a thoughtful lineup.
• Speakers — for sharing your knowledge, passion, and curiosity.
• Sponsors — for your generous support and commitment to the Scala community, helping make Scala Days possible.
• Volunteers — for your energy, kindness, and problem-solving superpowers.

We thank you all ♥️
