Today, we are excited to announce the 16th release of Dotty. The development of Dotty continues according to our schedule but today, Tuesday June the 11th, we are electrified as it is the first day of Scala Days 2019 which marks the 10th anniversary of Scala Days. With this release we are getting closer to the envelope of the new features that Dotty plans to offer
