Modern applications are concurrent, parallel, asynchronous, and synchronous; they utilize many different subsystems, including network systems, actor systems, distributed systems, and more. Across all these modes of computation and different subsystems, the one constant is failure. Errors happen everywhere, and taming their monstrous complexity in a way that helps developers write correct code and troubleshoot failures is one of the hardest challenges of modern application development.



In this presentation, created just for the Dublin Scala Meetup, John A. De Goes and Kai ⁣from 7mind.io will take attendees on a tour of error management in Scala, comparing and contrasting Scala's own Future type, and the ZIO effect type. You'll see how functional effects provide features that go way beyond Future: including unified errors across all modes of computation, powerful error operators, lossless error propagation, compiler-assisted error handling, and a stunning new feature for debugging, sponsored by Irish consultancy 7mind.io, will be unveiled exclusively at this presentation.



Come learn about how modern functional effect systems like ZIO provide compelling new solutions to the problems of everyday error management.
