02:42 - Immutability
05:08 - Records
- Immutable object
- Syntax
#{x: 1, y: 2}
05:56 - Tuples
- Immutable array
- Syntax
#[1,2,3,4]
07:18 - For both
Referred to as a compound primitive
Can contain only primitives, not objects
They are compared deeply by their contents rather than their identity
assert(#{ a: 1 } === #{ a: 1 }); assert(#[1, 2] === #[1, 2]); assert(#{ a: 1, b: 2 } === #{ b: 2, a: 1 });Potential for optimizations
- Optimizations for making deep equality checks fast
- Optimizations for manipulating data structures
Works well with type systems
Better integration with the debugger
Accessed through normal record.scott object like syntax
