Deployment

SBT:

  • Use sbt command release to publish to maven repos.
  • Use sbt command test and testOnly to run tests.
  • You should be able to use it roughly immediately; and after many hours you should see at maven repo listings here.

Building a jar.

  • Simplest way is to set up a build artifact in intellij IDea.

Technical choices

Scala

  • One can write much more concise code (1/4th to 1/3rd relative to Java and 3/4ths to 5/6ths relative to Python, according to this )
    • For example, the ease with which one can iterate in scala using higher order functions (the maps, filters and zips above) available with scala's excellent collections library.
  • while not sacrificing the ability to use java libraries, and readability/ speed of java.
  • It is increasing in popularity relative to competitors : scala vs clojure ( Google trends ), scala vs julia ( Google trends ).
  • Here is a good series of blog posts which provide an introduction to Scala.
