Closing Panel Discussion
summary
Explains where Scala evolves: Dotty prototypes land features used in Scala 2.12, 2.13 focuses on modularization in 2.13 and small breaking fixes (lazy val locking, procedure syntax removal, implicits return types), and the plan to deprecate during a cycle plus an automated refactoring tool to ease migration. Community build compiles 1.5M lines to measure impact. Notes platform limits: no runtime reflection in Scala.js, collections redesign is ongoing, and a PR for type-constructor inference is experimental but could be backported under flags.
