Scala Language Best Practices Keep it simple
Example
Do not overcomplicate simple tasks. Most of the time you will need only:
- algebraic datatypes
- structural recursion
- monad-like api (
map,flatMap,fold)
There is plenty of complicated stuff in Scala, such as:
Cake patternorReader Monadfor Dependency Injection.- Passing arbitrary values as
implicitarguments.
These things are not clear for newcomers: avoid using them before you understand them. Using advanced concepts without a real need obfuscates the code, making it less maintainable.
