LX Scala
On April 9, Scala developers from Portugal, Spain and the UK gathered in Lisbon for LX Scala to discuss Scala’s present and future trends. These are my notes from the talks…
Hands on function composition with monad transformers
When using functional programming languages like Scala, developers spend a lot of their time composing functions and effects. One of the most common ways to express composability is to use monads. However, composing functions that return different monads can become quite messy and, without the right tools, quickly turn into a massive headache. That’s where Monad Transformers, which are the main focus of this post, come in handy!
Bits of Shapeless part 1: HLists
Shapeless is a well known library for generic programming in scala. It is the basis for many widely used libraries and recent interesting projects in the Scala ecosystem, such as spray, Circe, Scodec and many others.

As part of an ongoing project at e.near, one of our Scala teams was recently tasked with a requirement to build an interpreter for executing workflows which are modelled with a textual DSL. These workflows had to be validated for errors, compiled to a simpler bytecode-like representation and stored, in order to be interpreted with as little overhead as possible.
