Shortcuts for option and list matching in Scala

Instead of:

option match
{
   case None => 0
   case Some(value) => value.intField
}

you can write:

option.map(.intField).getOrElse(0)

Instead of:

list match
{
case1 Nil => 0
case list => list.reduceLeft((a,b)=>a+b)
}

you can write:

list.foldLeft(0)((a,b)=>a+b)

From now on this will be a blog about the Scala language. My English is far from perfect, but I think I'm able to convey my thoughts in this area :)
