  • TypeScript's Lack of Naming Types and Type Conversion in Angular
    6 projects | dev.to | 17 Oct 2024
    Elm, ReScript, F#, Ocaml, Scala… it’s just normal to name your types, then use them places. In fact, you’ll often create the types _before_ the code, even if you’re not really practicing DDD (Domain Driven Design). Yes, you’ll do many after the fact when doing functions, or you start testing things and decide to change your design, and make new types. Either way, it’s just “the norm”. You then do the other norms like “name your function” and “name your variables”. I’m a bit confused why it’s only 2 out of 3 (variables and functions, not types) in this TypeScript Angular project. I’ll have to look at other internal Angular projects and see if it’s common there as well.
  • Programming in Scala as a "Better" Java
    1 project | dev.to | 29 Sep 2024
    Scala is a programming language for the JVM born in 2004 that is both object oriented and functional. Since it runs in the JVM it can call any Java method and be called by any Java method. So, moving from Java to Scala is practically pain free, all you have to do is learn the new syntax. You have all the Java libraries at your disposal plus all the improvements Scala has to offer. Even though Scala is both OOP and Functional it doesn't force you to use either of the two paradigms and so it can just be used as a simple OOP replacement for Java with great benefits to speed of coding and readability. In this article I will not get into the details but just show you enough to make you curious and try it. If you want to dive deeper here is a link for you: https://www.scala-lang.org
  • Counted B-Trees
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 May 2024
    Funnily enough this is (was?) used by the Scala collection library's TreeSet/TreeMap, for fast performance of the `take` and `drop` operations. This is a red-black tree though, not a B-Tree.

    Recently I had to revisit the "JVM languages universe" again. Yes, language(s), plural! Java isn't the only language that uses the JVM. I previously used Scala, which is a JVM language, to use Apache Spark for Data Engineering workloads, but this is for another post 😉.

  • The comeback of the Fediverse and the Old Web
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Dec 2022
    I have many less followers on Mastodon than in the Birdsite (40 vs 341), yet my activity has generated many more interactions than there. Not only that, among the users who decided to interact with me I counted: a co-discoverer of the Laniakea supercluster, one of the lead developers behind F#, the author of many important books on Java & JVM, plus many others. I'm literally a nobody, but this time there was no algorithm relying on relevance and engament metrics to decide what to present to each one of us.
  • Chicago and London TDD Styles for Functional Programming
    4 projects | dev.to | 18 Sep 2022
    FP devs differ based on language here. Elm, like F#, tends to encourage "a bunch of functions and types in a file". While Elm supports modules, we don't really care where it came from; they're all pure, all deterministic, the compiler tells us if it works.
  • Performance of immutable collections in .NET
    4 projects | /r/dotnet | 23 Jul 2022
    The builtin fsharp collections actually are just "immutable", not persistent as you mention. (Ref: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/master/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/map.fs. This is just an AVL tree that returns a copy on mutations: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/577d06b9ec7192a6adafefd09ade0ed10b13897d/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/map.fs#L118)

    You can dive into .NET ecosystem by trying F#. It's functional-first language so this should be familiar.
  • Parsing Lambda Error Logs in ReScript & Python
    19 projects | dev.to | 28 May 2022
    ReScript code is just like F# or OCAML; it doesn’t have a function parse phase like JavaScript, so we have to define our functions and types first before we can use them. That’s fine, but makes explaining the code backwards (meaning you start at the bottom of the file and work your way up), so we’ll start at our lambda handler and explain each part, regardless of where it’s defined.
