From Scala to ByteCode...
summary
Shows exactly what scalac and javap produce: scalac phases: 25 steps culminating in a JVM generation phase, class files hold a constant pool, field/method tables and bytecode instructions (there are about 200 JVM opcodes). Demonstrates concrete artifacts: Scala objects create companion classes like Config and Config$, traits become interfaces plus a $class with static impls, lazy vals use a bitmap plus monitor enter/exit for thread-safe init (about 30 lazies per int bitmask), and @specialized spawns many primitive-specialized class permutations.
