So, you are trying to grasp the concept of monads.If you are learning functional programming, understanding monads is a kind of rite of passage.Looking for monads on Google can be a bit daunting.

The compilation cost of implicits | Typo

We'll use the fact that Typo can generate it in its entirety to build a compile speed benchmark, where we contrast different combinations of scala versions and database libraries.

...

I'll stress that the code it generates is basically the same code I've written again and again over the years, which should make the benchmark interesting since this is so close to real-world application code.

Designing a (yet another) retry API

Ox is a toolkit for safe direct-style concurrency and resiliency for Scala on the JVM.We have recently released a new version that addresses the resiliency aspect - by adding a retry mechanism.

...

In this article, I'd like to walk you through the design process of Ox retries - the goals, the choices and the possible future work.

...

Adding retries - one of the resiliency patterns - allows you to avoid giving up too early, and to make some more attempts before your code ultimately fails.

Recursion and Tail Recursion in Scala : An easy step by step guide.

Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem.

...

In this article we will see how to implement a recursive and delve into the challenge of recursive function encountering larger input value.Finally we will get to know the better version of recursion known as Tail Recursion and how tail recursion overcomes the challenge of a simple recursive function.

...

If a function's definition involves calling the function itself then the function is called recursive function.

...

Recursion is a powerful programming technique that allows functions to call themselves and thus express problems in a clear , concise and intuitive way.However, as we've seen, traditional recursive implementations may encounter challenges with larger inputs due to stack overflow issues.
