We index arrays with integers. Lists also, at least the ones that allow random access. And sizes of collections are also integers. This allows for entries in Java and typical JVM languages, because integers are actually considered to be 32bit. Actually we could think of one more entry, using indices , but then we would …

Deutsch Software often contains a logging functionality. Usually entries one or sometimes multiple lines are appended to a file, written to syslog or to stdout, from where they are redirected into a file. They are telling us something about what the software is doing. Usually we can ignore all of it, but as soon as …
We use different file formats that are more or less tolerant to certain changes. Most well known is white space in text files. In some programming languages white space (space, newline, carriage return, form feed, tabulator, vertical tab) has no meaning, as long as any whitespace is present. Examples for this are Java, Perl, Lisp …

We often encounter nested loops, like for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { for (j = 0; j < m; j++) { doSomething(i, j); } } This can be nested to a few more levels without too much pain, as long as we observe that the number of iterations for each level need …

In 2018 I visited Scala Days in Berlin with this schedule. Other than in previous years I missed the opening keynote, which is traditionally on the evening before the main conference starts, because this is not so well compatible with my choice of traveling with a night train, especially because I did not want to …
About a week ago I visited Scala UA in Kiev. This was the schedule. It was a great conference once again, as it was already in 2017 and I really enjoyed everything, including the food, which was great again… 🙂 I listened to the following talks on the first day: Tales from the trenches, developing …
There are many interesting languages that have their sweet spots and of course a larger set of languages than just two should be considered for new projects. But Ruby and Scala are both very interesting languages that did not just pick up and sell concepts that were already known, but brought them to a new …

I have visited Scala Exchange („#ScalaX“) in London on 2017-12-14 and 2017-12-15. It was great, better than 2015 in my opinion. In 2016 I missed Scala Exchange in favor of Clojure Exchange. This time there were really many talks about category theory and of course its application to Scala. Spark, Big Data and Slick were …
