Day 4: Twitter and Scala

Today I gave up on the sentence anagram assignment… I managed all the functions except the last one which actually solves the sentence anagrams. I got the algorithm but the List[List[List[String]]] were getting out of hand, and I was wasting too much time on it so I left it as a good challenge for later on when I have some time on my hands. 😞

After that I started twitter’s scala school which explains how they use scala in their framework. I am having a little difficulty understanding covariance and stuff but I will probably get a feel for it once I program something using that. Currently I am reading about Finagle. Also I noticed that they haven’t mentioned scala Actors API which I see mentioned everywhere involving a concurrent framework.
