Integrating IDEs with Dotty - The Experimental Scala Compiler

Explore the integration of IDEs with Dotty, the experimental Scala compiler, in this conference talk from Scala Days Berlin 2018. Delve into the redesign of components, state-of-the-art practices, and key design principles. Examine source code, tree structures after typechecking, and learn how to query the compiler effectively. Address the IDE portability problem and discover the implementation of the Dotty language server. Gain insights into SBT integration, configuration files, and the Build Server Protocol. Investigate expression evaluation, compiler pipeline execution, and debugging techniques. Conclude with a look at future developments and participate in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of Scala compiler integration with IDEs.
