SF Scala: How to survive algorithms in Scala
ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Talk: How to survive algorithms in Scala By William Narmontas A mention of an algorithm tends to conjure up images like 'i++' and 'a[x] = a[x-1] + a[x-2]' which come from the classic trinity of Python, C and Java. In 2020, Scala's immense growth has risen the bar from simply writing Java in Scala syntax, to thinking in immutable style. In this talk, you will learn about my journey with algorithms in Scala and the educational website "Scala Algorithms". About our speaker: William Narmontas (https://twitter.com/ScalaAlgorithms) William has been consulting in Scala for 7½ years, all the way from low level performance optimization to software architecture; his focus has mostly been in finance where expressiveness of code plays a significant part.
