Dick Wall explores the state and future of Java, his reasons for switching to programming in Scala, the SubCut Dependency Injection library for Scala, Scala Compiler Plugins and much more.

"In 2010 we led the seed round for Docker (formerly known as dotCloud) for one simple reason: devops means that the way applications are packaged, deployed, and run is fundamentally changing (though Docker's business model has evolved since its early days as a PaaS vendor, the fundamental premise is the same).  Rather than requiring custom configurations and painstaking management, Docker "containerizes" applications components such that every container is lightweight and behaves consistently.  Applications and their underlying components can be programmatically deployed, managed and moved on ever-changing cloud infrastructure without a hint of operating system or hardware configuration.  In a pre-Docker world, companies with tremendous and evolving application demands looked to virtualization as a way of abstracting their infrastructure, but paid a tax in dollars and performance for doing so. In the future we think of Docker will take the mantle as the VMware of the devops world, with containers as the ultimate devops platform."

"These are the major new features added since Slick 1.0.1: A code generator that reverse-engineers the database schema and generates all code required for working with Slick. New driver architecture to allow support for non-SQL, non-JDBC databases. Table definitions in the Lifted Embedding use a new syntax which is slightly more verbose but also more robust and logical, avoiding several pitfalls from earlier versions. Table definitions (and their * projections) are not restricted to flat tuples of columns anymore. They can use any type that would be valid as the return type of a Query. The old projection concatenation methods ~ and ~: are still supported but not imported by default. In addition to Scala tuples, Slick supports its own HList abstraction for records of arbitrary size. You can also add support for your own record types with only a few lines of code. All record types can be used everywhere (including table definitions and mapped projections) and they can be mixed and nested arbitrarily. Soft inserts are now the default, i.e. AutoInc columns are automatically skipped when inserting with +=, ++=, insert and insertAll. This means that you no longer need separate projections (without the primary key) for inserts. There are separate methods forceInsert and forceInsertAll in JdbcProfile for the old behavior. A new model for pre-compiled queries replaces the old QueryTemplate abstraction. Any query (both, actual collection-valued Query objects and scalar queries) or function from Column types to such a query can now be lifted into a Compiled wrapper. Lifted functions can be applied (without having to recompile the query), and you can use both monadic composition of Compiled values or just get the underlying query and use that for further composition. Pre-compiled queries can now be used for update and delete operations in addition to querying. threadLocalSession has been renamed to dynamicSession and the corresponding methods have distinct names (e.g. w

"Reactive Streams is an engineering collaboration between heavy hitters in the area of streaming data on the JVM. With the Reactive Streams Special Interest Group, we set out to standardize a common ground for achieving statically-typed, high-performance, low latency, asynchronous streams of data with built-in non-blocking back pressure-with the goal of creating a vibrant ecosystem of interoperating implementations, and with a vision of one day making it into a future version of Java."

Listo... M$ subido al vagón de Docker... palo y a la bolsa. ¿Quién queda afuera? "Oct. 15, 2014 - Microsoft Corp. and Docker Inc., the company behind the fast-growing Docker open platform for distributed applications, on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership to provide Docker with support for new container technologies that will be delivered in a future release of Windows Server. Developers and organizations that want to create container applications using Docker will be able to use either Windows Server or Linux with the same growing Docker ecosystem of users, applications and tools."

"1. The Government has already made a commitment to Big Data by classifying it as one of the 'Eight Great Technologies' which will propel the UK to future growth and help it stay ahead in the global race. The 'Information Economy Strategy' reports on the increase in data being generated and the importance of new types of computing power in order to reap the economic value of the data. 2. This paper sets out to cover the following areas: a) Defining Big Data b) High-level trends in Big Data c) Opportunities for Big Data applications 3. In developing this paper, a 'community of interest' has been established comprising policy leads and analysts from across government with an interest in Big Data. This paper draws on their insights, insights from the private sector, academics, and the extensive open source literature on the Big Data topic."

"Heluna offers a unique SaaS based anti-spam solution that processes millions of e-mail messages  daily. Heluna turned to the Typesafe Stack - made up of Scala, Akka and Play Framework - in order  to future-proof the platform, and allow it to easily scale out to process well into the hundreds of  millions of e-mails."

"The microservices architectural style simplifies implementing individual services. However, connecting, monitoring and securing hundreds or even thousands of microservices is not simple.A service mesh provides a transparent and language-independent way to flexibly and easily automate networking, security, and observation functions. In essence, it decouples development and operations for services.The Istio service mesh is split into 1) a data plane built from Envoy proxies that intercepts traffic and controls communication between services, and 2) a control plane that supports services at runtime by providing policy enforcement, telemetry collection, and certificate rotation.The near-term goal is to launch Istio to 1.0, when the key features will all be in beta (including support for Hybrid environments)The long-term vision is to make Istio ambient."

"2017 was a great year for containers, but the future is grim for the company that made them popular. See what happened to Docker last year and what's in store for 2018."

Cartón lleno... Bruce Eckel se subió al vagón de scala...

Mucho por decir no hay.... "Adobe also suggested that Web application developers in the future would be using HTML5 rather than Flash."

Otro approach mas generador de oportunidades para la empresa podría haber sido sumar al SDK un compilador que produzca html5 en lugar de flash. Y sin duda mucho mejor recibido por todos sus clientes actuales y por todos los que vienen invirtiendo en flex!

"Typelevel is forking Scala; we call on all stakeholders in the Scala ecosystem to collaborate on the creation of an independent, non-profit, open source foundation to safeguard the interests of the entire Scala community."
