A third of UK organizations are failing to back up all of their sensitive data, hindering their ability to restore operations and ensure service continuity in the event of a breach. Almost half of those surveyed by security firm Cohesity reported not backing up all their workloads, including virtual machines, applications, and unstructured data, while 38% aren't applying consistent data categorization, backup controls, and policies globally.

The most remarkable thing you might notice when coming to Clojure from Java is that it is homoiconic, which means the code is written in the form of the language's data structures. This practice, also known as code as data, results in very consistent syntax with a limited number of keywords and constructs. It also creates a meta-programming model using "syntax-aware" code templates (called macros).

When I first started learning Scala, I was struck by how different it felt from Java. As a Java developer, I was used to object-oriented patterns and verbose syntax. But Scala introduced me to a world where immutability, pattern matching, and concise functional expressions were the norm. This article shares what I learned about the differences between Scala and Java, especially through the lens of functional programming.

In traditional systems, side effects lead to increased complexity, debugging challenges, and unpredictable behavior. CocoIndex adopts a pure data flow programming approach, ensuring reliability.
