Being Lazy with Scala
Saturday - Mar 7 11:00 AM CST - WASHINGTON
Conciseness, expressiveness, and fluency, among other things, are some of the core strengths of Scala.
Beyond the language capabilities, the Scala library has a wealth of capabilities to make expressive
and concise code quite efficient. This combination of benefits comes from the functional side of Scala where function composition and lazy evaluations are common place.
In this presentation we will learn about being lazy and, by doing so, how we can make the code quite efficient both from the point of view of expression and execution.
