Scale By The Bay 2018: Martin Odersky, Opening Keynote: New Functional Constructs in Scala 3

Scala 3 is shaping up, with feature freeze planned for 2019. In this talk I will discuss four new constructs that are likely to be part of Scala 3 and that will affect functional programming style in profound ways. They are: enums, implicit function types, opaque types, and extension methods. I'll present each feature in detail, motivate why it makes sense to add it, and discuss use cases.
