“Rust is a systems programming language that runs at gunfire speed, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.” Rust & its paternity First, Rust is heavily influenced by Cyclone (a safe dialect of C and an imperative language), with some aspects of object-oriented features from C++. But, it also includes functional features from languages like Haskell and OCaml. The result is a C-like language that supports Continue Reading

What Value classes is? Value classes are a mechanism in Scala to avoid allocating runtime objects. This is accomplished through the definition of new AnyVal subclasses. The following shows a very minimal value class definition: case class UserId(id: Int) extends AnyVal As you can see in the above section,  For a class to be a value class, it must have exactly one parameter and it must have Continue Reading

In this blog, I’m going to discuss about currying and partially applied functions. CURRYING Currying splits method with multiple parameters into a chain of functions – each with one parameter. Let’s understand currying using an example: scala> def multiply(a: Int)(b: Int)(c: Int) = a * b * c is the same as: def multiply(a: Int) = (b: Int) => (c: Int) => a * b Continue Reading
