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
