Scala Collections Redesign Roadmap

julienrf · June 16, 2017, 12:43pm

Hi all,

I just published a roadmap to give you an idea of the remaining steps before the next releases:

scala/collection-strawman/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#roadmap

# Contributing

Want to be part of this project but don’t know what you can do to help? You should have a look at the
[low hanging fruit](https://github.com/scala/collection-strawman/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22low+hanging+fruit%22)
issues!

## Getting started

You need the following:

- Git
- JDK 8
- SBT

And be sure to be familiar with the [design](documentation/DESIGN.md).

### Workflow

- Make sure you have signed the [Scala CLA](http://www.lightbend.com/contribute/cla/scala).
- You should perform your work in its own Git branch.

In short, we expect to publish a 0.2.0 release providing all the common collection types and operations within a month.
Then, the next steps will be to:

tune for performance (we will have a closer look at the user-contributed collection types with funny names such has Spandex or Steque – if you are interested in benchmarking you should definitely help us!)
add new operations (like a better groupBy or database-like joins)

Again, if you are interested in being involved in this project, feel free to drop by on the gitter channel and to create issues on the repository!

Last, I’d like to publicly thank Odd Möller for his contribution (and patience during the reviews!).
