Type Inference : An helpful feature of Scala

Reading Time: 4 minutes Scala comes with very interesting features. One such feature is Type Inference. Type Inference is a very powerful feature of Scala as it helps the developer to develop fast and efficiently. The Scala compiler can often automatically infer the type of an expression (everything in Scala is an expression). This helps the developer write the code without worrying about mentioning the types which are often known Continue Reading

Exploring the Exciting New Features of Scala 3

Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction Scala 3 is a major revision of the Scala programming language which has many new features. Technically, Scala is a statically-typed object-oriented language that combines functional and object-oriented programming paradigms. In Scala 3, many new features and improvements have been added. It features a revamped type system that is more consistent and predictable. This change allows for new features such as union types, and Continue Reading

Type Parameterization and Type System: Introduction

Reading Time: 3 minutes Scala is a static type language, which means types are checked at compile time instead of runtime. Type System provides safety during the compile time because we are detecting the error beforehand as these can be a potential error at runtime. Type parameterization also called as generics combined with Scala’s type system. We can write generic code so that we can reuse that code. Suppose, Continue Reading

How Scala met Dotty?

Reading Time: 2 minutes It all began in 2012 when the first commit for Scala 3 was made and it was decided to base Scala 3 on DOT. What is DOT? Before we go further into the story, let’s get to know about DOT. DOT, an abbreviation for Dependent Object Types, is a new type-theoretic calculus which models path-dependent types, abstract type members, and it creates a mixture of Continue Reading

Scala 3 Survey: The Conclusion

Reading Time: 3 minutes Scala 3 community build is here, and we are too excited about it. At Knoldus, we are actively exploring Scala 3, and we have been enjoying it a lot. Therefore, we thought why not to get a community perspective about the new and exciting features of Scala 3. We reached out to the community with a survey in December 2020, which we ran for a Continue Reading

Advanced Types in Rust are quite helpful

Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog, we will discuss the advanced types available in Rust. Creating Type Synonyms with Type Aliases Rust provides the ability to declare a type alias to give an existing type another name. For this, we use the type keyword. For example, we can create the alias Kilometers to i32 like so:  Values that have the type Kilometers will be treated the same as values of type i32: Because Kilometers and i32 are the same type, we can add Continue Reading
