Getting to know Scala
- joshes 16y agoI've been getting into Scala in the past couple of weeks, as well, and this part was certainly agreeable: "Scala’s type checking saved me from doing stupid things several times and I really appreciate the effort put in to the compiler." The reason that I was first intrigued by the idea of Scala was because of what friends had told me about its static typing and its type inference. I was concerned that there would be an untold amount of frustration from poor inferences, but the compiler absolutely protects the coder. It has done so well for me, in fact, that it has started to reinforce a sense about when to be explicit and when to be implicit. This has been the big joy of Scala, for me.
- SkyMarshal 16y ago"It was about this time that I realized that most of the Scala projects I saw were using simple-build-tool instead of Maven to handle dependencies and build automation. I quickly installed it and Scala syntax primer quite often), I decided to tackle something real but still relatively small in scope." Did he lose a line of text between 'I quickly installed it...' and '...and Scala syntax primer quite often)'?
