docs.scala-lang VS kotlin

Apple use Scala, not Java, for that sort of thing. At least that was the case last time I interacted with them.

Here are some of the suggested starting points for Scala: https://docs.scala-lang.org/

Here are the Scala books I've written: https://noelwelsh.com/landing/books/

Here's the coding group I run: https://www.scalabridgelondon.org/

ScalaBridge's online events have attendees from across Europe.

Type class is an interesting concept and I have been reading about it from different sources. So, I decided to pen down my learning from different sources like scala-lang.org, scalac.io, with examples that I could relate to better.

First you need to learn idiomatic Scala, start here: https://docs.scala-lang.org

Written by /u/julienrf and others in https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/pull/2662

That wording is out of date. I've just submitted https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/pull/2241 to update it.

A basic understanding of Kotlin and programming in general (OOP).

Being somewhat allergic to coding in Java (this is a personal thing, if you like Java then good for you) I decided to try out writing the code using Kotlin from JetBrains instead. I'm already using IntelliJ as I work with Apache Spark using Scala, so the tooling was already there and ready to go for this.

Kotlin testing with Kotest and MockK

Congrats to our friends at Kotlin. 🚀 After years of growth and development, KMP reaches a pivotal milestone with 1.9.20. We’ve been on team Kotlin Multiplatform since day one, and the best is yet to come! Learn more 👉 https://touchlab.co/kotlin-multiplatform-is-stable

Another option could be to check out Kotlin. It's a JVM language that while still object-oriented has may functional syntax features.
