Repeat after me! Commit history is intrinsic to quality documentation. Let's be honest about the number of times we have been disappointed by a poorly maintained commit history of a project anytime we tried to make sense of it. Good commit messages are intrinsic to meaningfully communicate changes…
In this blog post we will visit functors in Scala and try to reason with their existential purpose and how could we best make use of them. A Functor in functional programming is any type that implements the map or contramap functions. Depending upon which of these methods does a…
TL;DR This essay attempts to layout a proposal for a framework that is suppose to facilitate and nurture knowledge sharing culture within tech teams and reasons about motivations behind the proposal. Motivation Code reviews, pair programmings and similar conventional development practices not only strive to validate design and implementation…
In the previous blogs in this series, we discussed how to write context-free grammars for recursive descent parser and implement the same in Scala using FastParse Scala library. For this blog post, we will see how can utilize libraries built in Scala into Javascript ecosystem. Why Scala.js? Scala.js…
In the last post, we touched upon all the aspects of building a suitable context-free grammar for a recursive descent parser while building one ourselves for a language of simple arithmetic expressions. In this post we will use that grammar to build a parser library in Scala to validate simple…
