I've seen the author (Noel Walsh) talk on Scala a few times and he's a great teacher. And also good at showing how far you can get with just ADTs, structural recursion and objects as namespaces for your functions. This, in my view, represents a great, functional, subset of Scala. (Avoid normal classes, mutable state, etc.)
- noelwelsh 11y agoThanks! I strongly believe type classes, in addition to the features you list, are all you need for 95% of your Scala code. Taking this approach leads to very simple and comprehendible code.
