coursier is an attempt at making it easier to deal with Maven / Ivy dependencies, from Scala and the command-line. It's a replacement for Ivy or Aether, rewritten from scratch. It also features a working SBT plugin, and can even be used from Scala JS. It follows functional programming practices in both its very core and its user-facing API, and even makes use of algebraic structures like lattices at times. Its command-line programs allow to effortlessly launch programs from Maven / Ivy artifacts, list dependencies, or update caches. In this talk, we'll review the possibilities offered by its API, its command-line tools, and its SBT plugin.
