All of this is what caught my eye many years ago when I first came across Scala.

Welcome to my first post serving as an introductory! Created this blog entitled “Modern-Day Software Engineering” to reflect my opinions regarding the quickly changing technical landscape that developers like me face. This site will not only help me document my struggles & observations through my journeys but hopefully will help others as well. No first entry by a programmer can be complete without the traditional/canonical Hello World program: 1 2 3 fun main() { println("Welcome to Modern-Day Software Engineering!
