Devoxx via YouTube

Overview

Explore the differences between Java, Kotlin, and Scala type systems in this 44-minute Devoxx conference talk. Compare bytecode generation, compilation and execution times, and examine the behavior of generics and type inference across these JVM-powered languages. Analyze code samples to understand how each language handles types, including topics such as type parameters, covariance, type erasure, and reified generics. Gain insights from experienced developers Hanneli Tavante and Breandan Considine as they delve into the intricacies of these popular programming languages, providing valuable knowledge for both backend developers and those interested in JVM language comparisons.
