Ólafur Páll Geirsson: The Scalameta World
It's incredibly fitting that my first guest for tooling talks is Olaf. Justabout two year ago I sent an email to Olaf, introduced myself, told him I lovedMetals and that I wanted to help. This ultimately lead to my affinity withDeveloper tooling and also my entryway into that world. You may know Olaf fromthe impressive amount of tools that's he's either authored or worked on. I'msure you probably use some of them. Metals, the Scala Language server, Scalafmt,the defacto formatter for Scala, Scalafix, mdoc, munit, and Scalameta. Olaf'sfingerprints are all over the standard Scala toolchain. Apart the incredibleamount of work in open source he's done over the years at the Scala Center,Twitter, and now Sourcegraph, he's also a kind and helpful individual that'sfull of insight. It's an absolute pleasure for me to have him as my first guest.Support the show
