I'm still a noob in Scala development but I have found the Option[T] concept really awesome, specially the pattern matching when used with Some and None. I am even implementing it so some extent in a C# project I'm working on at the moment, but as there is no pattern matching in there is isn't really that awesome.

The real question is, where is the theory behind this object? is it something specific from Scala? Funcional languages? Where can I find more about it?
