Better Files - Towards a Safe, Sane I O Library in Scala

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on improving I/O operations in Scala through the 'better-files' library. Delve into the challenges of Scala and Java I/O, and discover how this thin wrapper around Java NIO aims to simplify, safeguard, and rationalize file operations. Examine the design considerations for creating a universally appealing I/O library, and compare different API approaches including monadic, non-blocking, and effect-based designs. Gain insights from Pathikrit Bhowmick's presentation at Scala Days Berlin 2016, offering practical solutions for more efficient and reliable file handling in Scala development.
