There is something satisfying about internal cleanup and modernization. And that is the case with the newest release of #Scala CLI: now built on Scala 3 Next, ready for JDK 24+, and shipping with a smarter fix command plus a fresh docs site.

There are already several libraries across the #Scala ecosystem integrating Jev, the decision-making model from Typesafe AI. This one is kind of effect-agnostic, based only on sttp abstractions. 👇

It's going to be an October with #Scala!

Where are we heading with AI software development? What's the role of programming languages? How much can we express & verify through types - and can LLMs help with that? Scala has some interesting propositions addressing these problems!

Have you upgraded to #Scala 3.9 yet? You should - 3.10 already has three RC versions out. This is one of the features moving from experimental to preview. It's called "relaxed lambda syntax".

What might be a better way to interface with TypeSafe AI's #Jev than through a type-safe API? And what language might be better suited for the task than #Scala?

That's why sttp-ai now has a fully type-safe Jev integration module: github.com/softwaremill...

Enjoy :)
