Scala

Listen brahs. I have a dirty anus that needs cleaning: Java. I learned Java as my first language in school and now that I learned Scheme and am learning Haskell, I figured I may as well not let that go to waste and learn Scala. Is it simple to go from Java to Scala? Or is the syntax strange in some places. Because I looked over some code snippets and it seemed decent.

Monad is just one of typeclasses. And a typeclass is some abstract entity, that allows concrete types to use some functions. And the nature of these functions depends on a typeclass of a concrete type, and how these functions implemented for a concrete type depends on the embodiment of the typeclass of that type. For example, monad Maybe is a type, computations, embedded into a monad of which, return either result, embedded into one of its data constructors, or a second data constructor - Nothing. Naturally, abstract types are often implemented in terms of type-class constrained polytypes and extraction functions from/to the abstract type families of polymorphic functions to/from some concrete type. However, the definitional structure of an abstract type uses interface operators and, therefore, is not affected by changes of representation. which may be logically hidden and, sometimes, even physically unavailable.
