"The CrossCompile Challenge: Is It Still Worth The Effort?" by Filip Michalski at Functional Scala 2023.

In this presentation, Filip addresses the evolving landscape of programming languages and tools, questioning the current value and relevance of crosscompiling languages, especially in the context of Scala 3 and Scala.js. Through a critical examination of these technologies, the talk aims to uncover whether they simplify or complicate the developer's job and what future they might hold.
