For a deeper understanding of type inference in Scala, I recommend this article. It explains how the Partial Unification feature helps when a provided type has a different arity than what the compiler expects. #scala nschejtman.medium.com/understandin...

Sbt tasks are still quite uncharted territory for me, as I've created only one or two so far. I'm glad for articles like this one. #scala

Great article, but as I've said before, I need more examples showing how capabilities can help in real-world scenarios. When it comes to getting data from an API, converting it, and mixing it with something else from a config or DB, combinators 🐱 are all I need. #scala
