Modules (objects) can be used as normal values; you can encode functors as functions or classes as needed; signatures (traits) are usable as values to some degree, too. &amp;gt;Furthermore, path-dependent types allow Scala to unify modules and objects, so that the same language constructs can be used to specify the overall structure of a program as well as its implementation details.
