Closing Panel
summary
Panel summarizes concrete work: the community build now compiles 104 projects (roughly millions of LOC) and catches regressions every release; collections are being redesigned in the collection strawman to remove CanBuildFrom, with migrations via ScalaFix and benchmark suites to avoid regressions; 2.13 targets Java 9 compatibility (full module-aware typechecker in Q1 2018); ongoing work touches Scala.js/Native, sbt tooling, and JVM features like VarHandle and Valhalla support for better specialization.
