Concurrency in Scala and on the JVM

Explore the dynamic landscape of concurrent programming in Scala and on the JVM in this 44-minute conference talk from Scala Days. Dive into Scala's strengths in concurrency, examining how its flexibility in creating new abstractions enables declarative concurrency APIs that can prevent race conditions and deadlocks. Compare popular concurrency approaches including Akka, Monix, cats-effect, ZIO, and emerging libraries based on JVM's Loom project. Evaluate these different concurrency tools based on safety, developer experience, readability, interaction with effect systems, and type-level guarantees to determine the best fit for your project needs.
