I know these terms are used in context of performance achievement/optimization.

Answer 1

My assumption is that you already have sufficient definitions for the term "boilerplate". I would probably wish to back what you have with the help of an example. Coming from a Java background and recently moving to Scala, you realize that in Java, you can't write statements devoid of semicolons (;). Further, it is not unusual to write thousands of statements for a program that's probably running in production. Your guess is as good as mine, you end up writing a lot of repetitive low-impact code but it happens to be code that's demanded by the Java compiler. Scala is a concise language in the sense that the need to write boilerplate code has been reduced. You don't have to write semi-colons in Scala. Hope this is simplistic enough
