Course Details

  • Safety:

    • Limit mutability
    • Eliminate platform types as soon as possible
    • Do not expose inferred types
    • Prefer composition over inheritance
    • Make it clear that top-level functions are not member functions
       

  • Readability:

    • Design for readability
    • Use operator overloading methods as their names indicate
    • Consider naming arguments
    • Avoid returning or operating on Unit?
    • Specify variable type when it is not clear
    • Consider referencing receiver explicitly
       

  • Reusability

    • Do not repeat knowledge
    • Do not repeat common algorithms
    • Reuse between different platforms by extracting common modules

     

  • Abstraction design

    • Each function should be written in terms of a single level of abstraction
    • Define abstractions
    • Respect abstraction contract
    • Restrict visibility
    • Use abstraction to protect code against changes
    • Consider wrapping external API
       

  • Objects creation

    • Consider factory functions instead of constructors
    • Consider primary constructor with named optional arguments
    • Consider defining DSL for complex object creation

  • Class design

    • Use data modifier to represent a bundle of data
    • Use function types instead of interfaces to pass operations and actions
    • Do not use properties to express behavior
    • Respect contract of equals
    • Respect contract of hashCode
    • Respect contract of compareTo
    • Respect contract of arithmetic operators

  •  

    Make it cheap

    • Avoid unnecessary object creation
    • Consider inline modifier for higher-order functions
    • Eliminate obsolete object references
    • Use tail recursion to achieve efficient recurrence
    • Efficient collection processing
    • Prefer Sequence for bigger collections with more than one processing step
    • Consider Arrays with primitives for performance critical processing
    • Consider using mutable collections
