At this meetup we watched a video on frontend development using Scala and
|
|
scala.js recorded at this years Scaladays. The presenter [Otto
|
|
Chrons](https://twitter.com/ochrons?lang=en) gave a humourous and inspiring
|
|
talk on this topic and introduced us to his new UI framework
|
|
[Suzaku](https://github.com/suzaku-io/suzaku). By the way he is looking for
|
|
contributors to this project so if you are looking for an open source scala
|
|
project to contribute to this would be a great one.
|

After the video we had discussions about scala.js and a few of the attendees
|
|
went to the scala.js documentation and created a hello world program using it
|
|
to get familiar with it. It was great fun and in future meetups we are thinking
|
|
of doing more learning and coding activities to learn scala.js as a group.

If anyone knows me personally they know that I am a big fan of vim as my text
|
|
editor. So lately I have been doing 90% of my scala coding using vim and
|
|
[ensime](http://ensime.org/). So I did a demo of how I have setup
|
|
[neovim](https://neovim.io/) and how I use it.
|
|
|
|
For anyone who attended the meetup and is keen to have the same setup my
|
|
dotfiles can be found here:

It was great to see everyone who attended, hope to see more scala types at our
|

next event:
