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
