I am very interested in how people interact with technology. I believe that programming language design is critical as it is one of the key interfaces where intent and reality meet. Also fan of eating, and music.

Sessions

Lets build a personalised agent harness in Safe Scala

Workshop (2 days)
Inspired by Pi agent harness and TACIT. We will extend a core agentic harness. Provide agentic capabilities via the SKILLS.md standard with a twist: all tool calls are scala code execution of code generated by the agent itself. Sandboxing is provided by the new safe language mode. Come to learn and lets push it further.

Frannz Salon: Lab 3
Laminar is a Scala.js-first approach to reactive UI for the web, combining declarative presentation with logic for how to make updates based on events or other state changes. Beyond basics, lets also explore interop with JS libraries, and even concerns such as code organisation, and effective error handling practises.
