Scoped Implicit Lifetimes

Scoped Implicit Lifetimes

All things considered, our experience in Scala Native has shown that resource management in Scala is way harder than it should be. This gist presents a simple design pattern that makes it resource management absolutely hassle-free: scoped implicit lifetimes.

The main idea behind it is to encode resource lifetimes through a concept of an implicit scope. Scopes are necessary to acquire resources. They are responsible for disposal of the resources once the evaluation exits the

A better ehcache.xml configuration file for the Play Framework, which out of the box limits the size of the cache based on the number of objects you put in it rather than the number of bytes. I personally think that's not a very smart choice. Also see http://ehcache.org/documentation/2.5/configuration/cache-size#cache-configuration-sizing-attrib…
<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../config/ehcache.xsd" updateCheck="false">
<!-- This is a default configuration for 256Mb of cached data using the JVM's heap, but it must be adjusted
according to specific requirement and heap sizes -->
<defaultCache

Playframework: Async, Reactive, Threads, Futures, ExecutionContexts

Asynchronicity is the price to pay, you better know what you're paying for...

Let's share some vocabulary first:

Thread: The primitive responsible of executing code on the processor, you can give an existing (or a new) Thread some code, and it will execute it. Normally you can have a few hundreds on a JVM, arguments that you can tweak your way out to thousands. Worth noting that multitasking is achieved when using multiple Threads. Multiple Threads can exist for a single processor in which case multitasking happens when this processor switches between threads, called context switching, which will give the impression of things happenning in parallel. An example of a direct, and probably naive, use of a new Thread in Java:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  public void run(){
 System.out.println("MyRunnable running");
