Nice little talk about the #Unison #programming language: youtube.com/watch?v=cSr3DE5hBi

This zeroes in on the way that Unison *manages* code (which is extremely unusual), the way that this solves the library version-conflict problems that those of us in the #JVM world (including #Scala) are painfully used to, and winds up making distributed programming almost weirdly easy.

If you don't already know Unison, it's worth a watch: it's very neat stuff.

Uma “cidade de data centers”, maior complexo de infraestrutura digital da América Latina, deverá ser erguida pela empresa Scala em Eldorado do Sul, município completamente devastado pela subida das águas em maio de 2024. Os data centers abrigam servidores de armazenagem e processamento de dados — e vêm crescendo em importância com a popularização da inteligência artificial.

On other news, people are entering the matrix channel, which is nice. xmpp group chat is still dead and I wouldn't recommend it.

Deltachat surprisingly interested people that joined.

I created a new matrix channel for #scala focused on portuguese speaking people, which I bet there are some and I don't know any that exists where people can talk in PT for the community: matrix.to/#/%23scala-room-pt:m

I have to say that it's extremely weird not be able to publish the rooms in the matrix directory.
