Writing correct and safe concurrent code is a hard task, but one that we often face in our everyday jobs. That's also an area where Scala, thanks to its expressiveness, is especially popular.

In this live-coding talk, we'll solve the same problem using three competing libraries: Typed Akka Actors, Monix and ZIO. While they share some similarities, it's the details in which they differ which might be crucial when choosing the right tool for a specific problem.

Come and see how these libraries compare in terms of type safety, composability, communication and side-effect management!
