Justin Kaeser: The Build Server Protocol and IntelliJ
Show Notes

If you're a Scala developer there is almost no doubt you use either IntelliJ or
Metals with your editor of choice. Whether you're using IntelliJ, or Metals
which utilizes BSP, or maybe even IntelliJ with BSP, you're using some of the
handy work of Justin. This month Justin and I sit and chat all about IntelliJ
and Scala, the Build Server Protocol, and what some of the future of programming
could look like in Scala.  I'm pretty fascinated with this topic lately and
looking at the current limitations we have in the Scala tooling ecosystem, and
thinking about how they could be challenged. I'm grateful that Justin took the
time and chat and also grateful for all the work he's put into making
integrations in Scala tooling seamless.
