In 2011, I started a Scala open source project named ScalikeJDBC. Thanks to many contributors, I am still working on the project after six years. In the meantime, the Scala community has been growing sharply, and the trends have been continuously changing. Despite the fact that the number of developers who work on OSS projects has increased, there are not many developers who have been working on a Scala project for several years. In this talk, I will share my experiences and pieces of knowledge through maintaining the OSS project for more than six years.

  2. In 2011, I started a Scala open source project named

    ScalikeJDBC. Thanks to many contributors, I am still working on the project after six years. In the meantime, the Scala community has been growing sharply, and the trends have been continuously changing. Despite the fact that the number of developers who work on OSS projects has increased, there are not many developers who have been working on a single Scala project for several years. In this talk, I will share my experiences and pieces of knowledge through maintaining a single OSS project for more than six years. ೥͔ΒऔΓ૊ΜͰ͖ͨ4DBMJLF+%#$Λ͸͡Ίͱ͢Δ 4DBMB044։ൃ͔Βಘͨ஌ݟͳͲΛ͓࿩͠͠·͢ɻ 2

  5. My “Hello World” in Scala In 2009, I was a

    Java developer at the time Looking for a new one / unsatisfied with Groovy At the beginning, I tried with Scala 2.7.3 My first impression of Scala “IDE integration was still very poor. It’s a bit early to seriously use it at work.” Excited with hybrid paradigms, actors, concise syntax I started learning it seriously in the following year ॳΊͯ࢖ͬͨͷ͸Ͱ౰࣌͸+BWBΤϯδχΞͰͨ͠ɻ ࢓ࣄʹ͸·ͩ࢖͑ͳ͍͚Ͳ໘ന͍ݴޠͩͳͱࢥ͍·ͨ͠ɻ 9

  21. Common reasons to do that Await their releases every Scala

    major upgrade If you depend on short-lived libraries.. When becoming unmaintained, you’ll have to fork and maintain them by yourself May bring binary compatibility issues 4DBMBNBKPSVQHSBEFͷ౓ʹSFMFBTF଴ͪɺ୹໋MJCSBSZΛ ࠷ѱGPSL͢ΔӋ໨ɺόΠφϦޓ׵ੑͷ໰୊ͳͲ͋Γ͑·͢ɻ 30
  22. Fetters for Cross-building So difficult to do cross-building while depending

    on other Scala libraries All depending Scala libraries must do the exactly same cross-building (unrealistic..) If you give cross-building high priority, you should consider to depend on not Scala libraries but Java libraries (or no dependencies..)

  23. Depending on Java libraries Depending on well-maintained Java libraries is

    a reasonable way to reduce your efforts No extra efforts when Scala major upgrade Stability (well-tested by large number of users) Downside of using Java libraries?

  25. CI Build Configuration Properly configuring CI builds is the most

    important practice for cross-building If you don’t configure CI to check cross-building automatically, it’ll be very annoying to manually check the validity of pull requests $*ϏϧυΛద੾ʹઃఆͯ͠ӡ༻͢Δ͜ͱ͕࠷΋େࣄͰ͢ɻΫϩ εϏϧυΛؾʹ͠ͳ͕Β13Λड͚෇͚Δʹ͸ඞਢͰ͢ɻ 35
