Scala (ˈskɑːlə ) is a strong statically typed high-level general-purpose programming language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. Designed to be concise, many of Scala's design decisions are aimed to address criticisms of Java. Scala source code can be compiled to Java bytecode and run on a Java virtual machine (JVM). Scala can also be compiled to JavaScript to run in a browser, or directly to a native executable.
The main contribution of this work is a formal model of hygienic name resolution and macro system that is flexible enough to provide missing safety to quasiquotes. This makes it possible to combine th
Scala heavily relies on a number of object-oriented abstractions to support its feature-rich collections library. There are known techniques that optimize those abstractions away in just-in-time (JIT)
Scala has been developed as a language that deeply integrates with the Java ecosystem. It offers seamless interoperability with existing Java libraries. Since the Scala compiler targets Java bytecode,
