  I believe that's the older bit-mapped trie structure, which was replaced with Radix Balanced Finger Trees. Here's the PR where they did it.

  Scala.js let's you transpile applications written in the programming language (Scala)[https://www.scala-lang.org/] into JavaScript. Scala.js boasts correctness, performance and interoperability with other JavaScript frameworks.

  It likely does because both actually use a similar structure. For Scala, the code for the higher ordered function is here: https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/v2.13.1/src/library/scala/collection/IterableOnce.scala#L718-L735

  Java just doesn't have the cool factor that other languages have. A little rebranding could go a long way to reinvigorating the language in the eyes of newcomers. And I say that because the author of this blog post is a newcomer. Experiened developers know that, despite the ugly Oracle branding, Java is a good language with a sophisticated ecosystem of tools surrounding it. He seems to be mostly enamored with the developer experience of IntelliJ + Java + Maven. And while it is great, that experience is possible with most programming languages.

  Disclaimer: I haven't used Java since my early University classes 10+ years ago.

  Finally, on the backend, we've got a simple Scala-based application, deployed on Heroku. The database is PostgreSQL, but the application is not a straightforward CRUD as you might expect, but instead uses SQL-based, transactional event sourcing. Probably overkill, but — if we ever want to create a new view basing on the events (which include e.g. program creation in creative mode, or solving a challenge) — for sure we'll have the data available!

  I noticed there was a typo where the syntax for the scala language was incorrect. Instead of showing ||, which means logical or in Scala, it was showing \\ that does not show correctly what it should be.
