Scala for the Intrigued & Scala Traits
The current issue of PragPub (Sept-2011) has a pair of articles on Scala.
“Scala for the Intrigued” by Venkat Subramaniam starts a new series on Scala. Conciseness is the emphasis of the first post, with the implication that conciseness is a virtue. Perhaps, perhaps. I prefer to think of “conciseness” as the proper use of macros for substitution. Still, it looks like an interesting series to follow.
Brian Tarbox in “Scala Traits” counters an “antipattern” in Java with a “pattern” in Scala using “traits.” Different choices than were made for Java so Scala offers different capabilities. Capabilities that you may find useful. Or not. But worth your while to consider.
