scala for the impatient is a good starter for anyone who has developed in a language used by more than, like, 5 people.

for functional scala, i don't really think there's a good resource for just that. the community for the most part has been moving away from scalaz' "haskell, but atrocious" junk and that library has even said operator soup just doesn't work in scala.

looked at it briefly a while ago and it didn't seem to offer enough over java8 + judicious lombok to justify learning a new language that nobody else uses

The same way it should be easier to do your own composting, you should have the ability to deal with complicated ideas by making models of them on the computer.

you should care about perl 6 because the more you learn about it the more hilarious it gets

quote:

for example the main data type Cool from which nearly everything inherit provides string methods and numeric methods to most of the type heirarchy, but doesn't have the Numeric role or the Stringy role (also the Stringy role doesn't provide any methods)

I'm late to the party but the posts about Java pass by reference made me go back and look at some small examples.

Java code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 1;
        modify(x);
        System.out.println(x); // 1 indicates variable was passed by value
                               // 2 indicates variable was passed by reference
    }
     public static void modify(int input) {
	    input = 2;
     }

prints 1. it's a primitive.

Java code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String x = "blue";
        modify(x);
        System.out.println(x); // "blue" indicates variable was passed by value
                               // "red" indicates variable was passed by reference
    }
     public static void modify(String input) {
	    input = "red";
     }

prints blue, although String is an object. is this because String is a ~special object~ or does this have something to do with it being referenced in a static context?

this was the first impression I had of perl 6 beyond its name: http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/periodic/

at the time I couldn't tell if it was satire

"i guess if we want to avoid implicit type casting, we need to do the same for numbers. hey, but we use scalars as the basic type. let's just have a scalar type and then explicit tags for number or string, and call it cool because i'm larry wall"
