Overview of this book

The second version of Scala has undergone multiple changes to support features and library implementations. Scala 2.13, with its main focus on modularizing the standard library and simplifying collections, brings with it a host of updates. Learn Scala Programming addresses both technical and architectural changes to the redesigned standard library and collections, along with covering in-depth type systems and first-level support for functions. You will discover how to leverage implicits as a primary mechanism for building type classes and look at different ways to test Scala code. You will also learn about abstract building blocks used in functional programming, giving you sufficient understanding to pick and use any existing functional programming library out there. In the concluding chapters, you will explore reactive programming by covering the Akka framework and reactive streams. By the end of this book, you will have built microservices and learned to implement them with the Scala and Lagom framework.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the effects defined in the standard library. First, an Option which represents a case where it might be impossible for the function to return the result. Then the Try which extends the optionality with the possibility to return an error description in the failure case. Next was Either which further extends the concept of Try by allowing it to provide an arbitrary type as a description of an unsuccessful path. Finally, the Future which stays a bit aside in this list and represents the notion of long and possibly executed in separate context computations

We noticed that these effects have different constructors tailored to the situations that require the creation of the respective instances. In accordance, they offer slightly different ways to access values that are stored inside the container.

We paid attention to the fact that having effects...
