The talk

Just Capturing Checking

Vivek is going to talk about Scala 3’s experimental feature: capture checking. He’ll show how resource leaks are flagged as compile-time errors, which the compiler identifies by tracking which capabilities each value retains. He’ll also cover the type system updates related to capture checking.
