Stairway to Heaven or “Java with Closures”
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
In this talk, Chris Marshall will discuss the challenges of moving from Java to Scala “in the enterprise”. He will cover pitfalls, pratfalls, explaining his team's journey: from wishing for “Java with Closures” to navigating a forest of new concepts: monoids, monads, applicative functors and folds. Was their choice for Scala a good idea?
