Scala Nugget – Pattern matching and Lists
I was whining recently about how my scala-code is java in poor disguise. I started reading the scala by example pdf that also comes with the scala installation. I just read some interesting things about lists and pattern-matching that gave me an idea how to “scalafy” the following scjava-code:
Scala Nugget – implicits to make java blend into Scala
