Hello again! Today, we are excited to announce the 16th release of Dotty. The
109
development of Dotty continues according to our schedule but today, Tuesday June
1110
the 11th, we are electrified as it is the first day of [Scala Days 2019](https://scaladays.org/)
1211
which marks the *10th* anniversary of Scala Days.

## New typeclass derivation scheme
175+
176+
Summary of measured differences with the old scheme:
177+
178+
- About 100 lines more compiler code - the rest of the lines changed diff is
179+
tests.
180+
- About 13-15% more code generated for typeclass instances
181+
- About 3-4% slower to compile typeclass instances
182+
183+
Advantages of new scheme:
184+
185+
- Fewer allocations, since mirrors (`Generic` has been renamed to `Mirror`) are
186+
usually shared instead of being allocated at runtime.
187+
- It works well even if there are no derives clauses. The old scheme would
188+
generate more code in that case.
189+
- Complete decoupling between derives clauses and mirror generation.
