I think there is some good Scala documentation.
By core values of the Scala community I refer to trying to create idiomatic ways of solving problems, and trying to get the most out of the language. One evidence of this is the amount of domain specific languages created in Scala.
Twitter's Scala school was a good resource for me, the official tutorial by Odersky in Coursera is a good starting point too. You can also watch Scala talks in YouTube, to supplement documentation reading.
- the_af 10y agoThose resources are good. Twitter's Scala school is more relevant as a reference than Odersky's progfun course (if that's what you mean by "official tutorial"), because progfun is more about FP and less about Scala-the-language (this made it even more interesting for me, but also makes it less useful as a reference). Note, however, those resources are external. I understand what you mean by core values. I don't understand how they are improved by a lack of documentation.
- partycoder 10y agoThe tour of Scala lost me initially. I used "Another tour of Scala", I found that one to be easier to digest.
