+title: Scala 2.13’s Collections
+---
+
+One more article about the standard collections, really? Indeed, during the last
+18 months a lot of work has been done on the collections side and we’ve published
+several blog articles and given several talks to explain the various changes or
+challenges we were facing. This article summarizes **what is going
+to change from an end-user perspective**.
+
+In case you’ve thoroughly followed our previous blog posts and talks, you might
+not learn much from this article. Otherwise, this is the perfect opportunity
+to catch up on the topic in a few minutes!
+
+The next section presents the changes that are internal to the collections implementation
+but that might have some visible impact on the surface. Then, I will show why I think
+that the removal of `CanBuildFrom` made the API more beginner friendly. Next, I
+will introduce some new operations available in the collections. Finally, I
+will mention the main deprecations, the motivations behind them, and their
+recommended replacements.
+
+## Under The Hood: A Cleaner Ground
+
+![iceberg](/resources/img/blog/iceberg.jpeg)
+
+The most important change in the new collections framework is that transformation
+operations (such as `map` or `filter`) are now implemented in a way that works with both
+strict collections (such as `List`) and non-strict collections (such as `Stream`).
+This is a change because this was not the case before. Indeed, the previous
+implementations were strict (they eagerly evaluated the collection elements) and had
+to be overridden by non-strict collection types. You can find more details about that in
+[this blog post](/blog/2017/11/28/view-based-collections.html).
+
+The good news is that the new design is more **correct** in the sense that you can
+now implement custom non-strict collection types without having to worry about
+re-implementing a ton of operations. (Some operations, though, still eagerly evaluate
+the collection elements (e.g. `groupBy`) and will be clearly documented.) Another benefit
+is that transformation operations defined outside of the collections (like in the
+[cvogt/scala-extensions](https://github.com/cvogt/scala-extensions) project)
+now work with non-strict collections (such as `View` or `Stream`).
+
+Speaking of non-strict collections, the `View` type has been redesigned and
+views should behave in a more predictable way. Also, `Stream` has been
+deprecated in favor of `LazyList` (see the last section).
+
+## Life Without `CanBuildFrom`
+
+I think the most visible change for end-users is that transformation operations
+don’t use `CanBuildFrom` anymore. I believe this will be quite visible despite our previous
+efforts to *hide* `CanBuildFrom` from the API documentation of the collections.
+Indeed, if you take a look at the
+[old 2.12 `List` API](//www.scala-lang.org/api/2.12.6/scala/collection/immutable/List.html), the signature
+shown for the `map` operation does not mention `CanBuildFrom`:
+
+![there is no CanBuildFrom](/resources/img/blog/scaladoc-list-map.png)
+
+However, if you use this operation in your code, then your IDE reveals its actual signature:
+
+![what is That](/resources/img/blog/ij-list-map.png)
+
+As you can see, the type signature shown in the API documentation has been “simplified”
+to make it more approachable, but I believe that this is probably introducing more
+confusion to the users. Especially when you look at the
+[`TreeMap[A, B]` API](//www.scala-lang.org/api/2.12.6/scala/collection/immutable/TreeMap.html):
+
+![wtf](/resources/img/blog/scaladoc-treemap-map.png)
+
+This type signature makes no sense: the result type can not be `TreeMap[B]` since
+`TreeMap` takes *two* type parameters (the type of keys and the type
+of values). Also, the function `f` actually takes a *key-value pair* as parameter,
+not just a key (as incorrectly indicated by the type `A`).
+
+`CanBuildFrom` was used for good reasons, in particular the type `That` shown
+in the above screenshot was *computed* according to the type of the source
+collection and the type of elements of the new collection. The case of `TreeMap`
+is compelling: in case you transform your key-value pairs into other key-value
+pairs for which the type of keys has an implicit `Ordering` instance, then `map`
+returns a `TreeMap`, but if there is no such `Ordering` instance then the best
+collection type that can be returned is `Map`. And if you transform the key-value
+pairs into something that is not even a pair, then the best collection type
+that can be returned is `Iterable`. These three cases were supported by
+a single operation implementation, and `CanBuildFrom` was used to abstract over
+the various possible return types.
+
+In the new collections we wanted to have simpler type signatures so that we
+can show their actual signature in the API documentation, and auto-completion
+provided by IDEs is not scary. We achieve that by using overloading, as
+explained in more detail in
+[this blog article](/blog/2017/05/30/tribulations-canbuildfrom.html).
+
+In practice, this means that the new `TreeMap` has three overloads of the
+`map` operation:
+
+![](/resources/img/blog/scaladoc-new-treemap-map.png)
+
+These type signatures are the actual ones and they essentially translate
+“in types” what I’ve written above about the possible result types of `map`
+according to the type of elements returned by the transformation function `f`.
+We believe that the new API is simpler to understand.
+
+## New And Noteworthy
+
+We have introduced a few new operations. The following sections
+present some of them.
+
+### `groupMap`
+
+A common pattern with the old 2.12 collections is to use `groupBy`
+followed by `mapValues` to transform the groups. For instance,
+this is how we can index the names of a collection of users by
+their age:
+
+~~~ scala
+case class User(name: String, age: Int)
+
+def namesByAge(users: Seq[User]): Map[Int, Seq[String]] =
+  users.groupBy(_.age).mapValues(users => users.map(_.name))
+~~~
+
+There is a subtlety in this code. The static return type is `Map`
+but the `Map` implementation actually returned is lazy and evaluates
+its elements each time it is traversed (ie the `users => users.map(_.name)`
+function is evaluated each time the `Map` is traversed).
+
+In the new collections the return type of `mapValues` is a `MapView` instead
+of a `Map`, to clearly indicate that its contents is evaluated each time it
+is traversed.
+
+Furthermore, we have introduced an operation named `groupMap`
+that both groups elements and transforms the groups. The above code
+can be rewritten as follows to take advantage of `groupMap`:
+
+~~~
+def namesByAge(users: Seq[User]): Map[Int, Seq[String]] =
+  users.groupMap(_.age)(_.name)
+~~~
+
+The returned `Map` is strict: it eagerly evaluates its elements
+once. Also, the fact that it is implemented as a single operation
+makes it possible to apply some optimizations that make it
+~1.3x faster than the version that uses `mapValues`.
+
+### `InPlace` Transformation Operations
+
+Mutable collections have a couple of new operations for transforming
+their elements in place: instead of returning a new collection (like
+`map` and `filter` do) they mutate the source collection. These
+operations are suffixed with `InPlace`. For instance, to remove
+users whose name start with the letter `J` from a buffer and then
+increment their age, one can now write:
+
+~~~ scala
+val users = ArrayBuffer(…)
+users
+  .filterInPlace(user => !user.name.startsWith("J"))
+  .mapInPlace(user => user.copy(age = user.age + 1))
+~~~
+
+## Deprecations For Less Confusion
+
+A consequence of cleaning and simplifying the collections framework
+is that several types or operations have been deprecated in Scala 2.13
+and will be removed in 2.14.
+
+### `Iterable` Is The Top Collection Type
+
+We felt that having a distinction between `Traversable` and `Iterable` was not
+worth it, so we removed `Traversable` (it is now an alias to `Iterable[A]`).
+
+`Iterable[A]` is now the collection type at the top of the hierarchy.
+Its only abstract member is `def iterator: Iterator[A]`.
+
+### `LazyList` Is Preferred Over `Stream`
+
+`Stream` is deprecated in favor of `LazyList`. As its name suggests,
+a `LazyList` is a linked list whose elements are lazily evaluated. An
+important semantic difference with `Stream` is that in `LazyList` both
+the head and the tail are lazy, whereas in `Stream` only the tail is lazy.
+
+### Insertion And Removal Operations Are Not Available On Generic Collections
+
+In the old 2.12 framework, the `scala.collection.Map` type has a `+` and a `-` operations
+to add and remove entries. The semantics of these operations is to return a new collection
+with the added or removed entries, without changing the source collection.
+
+These operations are then inherited by the mutable branch of the collections. But the mutable
+collection types also introduce their own insertion and removal operations, namely `+=` and `-=`,
+which modify the source collection in place. This means that the `scala.collection.mutable.Map` type
+has `+` and `+=`, as well as `-` and `-=`.
+
+Having all these operations can be handy in some cases but can also introduce confusion. If you want
+to use `+` or `-`, then you probably wanted to use an immutable collection type in the first place…
+Consequently, `+`, `-` and `updated` have been moved from `scala.collection.Map` to `scala.collection.immutable.Map`,
+and `+` and `-` have been moved from `scala.collection.Set` to `scala.collection.immutable.Set`
+
+We think that by deprecating these insertion and removal operations from generic collection
+types and by having distinct operations between the `mutable` and `immutable` branches we make
+the situation clearer.
+ 
+## Summary
+
+In summary, the changes for end-users are the following:
+
+- non-strict collections (such as views) are safer to use and simpler implement,
+- type signatures of transformation operations (such as `map`) are simpler
+  (no implicit `CanBuildFrom` parameter),
+- new cool operations have been added,
+- the type hierarchy is simpler (no `Traversable`),
+- mutable collection types do not inherit immutable insertion and removal operations.
