Scalacaster is a collection of purely functional algorithms and data structures implemented in Scala, meant to be read rather than executed. It covers lists, queues, heaps, trees, and graphs with techniques from Okasaki-style functional programming.

Use cases

  • learn purely functional data structures in scala
  • study okasaki-style persistent data structure implementations
  • read annotated source code for heaps and red-black trees
  • understand functional graph algorithms in scala
  • reference for functional programming interview prep

When to choose

  • you want to study elegant functional implementations of classic data structures
  • you are learning Scala through well-commented algorithm code
  • you need a reference for persistent heaps, trees, and graphs

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready library to add as a dependency
  • you need executable, tested code for a project
  • you need imperative or mutable data structure implementations
