Has anyone here taken a serious look at scala the programming language? It seems (to me) to be a very high level functionally oriented Java. Part of the reason I don't like Java is because it's such a low level language (might as well program in C), but this language has a very nice high level scripting language feel to it.
It appears to be about as fast as Java - it produces java bytecodes, and uses java libraries - but it isn't java. It's also a functional language (functions are first class.) It is statically typed, but much of this is hidden from view by type inference. Any opinions on it? I probably won't do GO with it, but I've been looking for a really fast high level language that has batteries included and is cross platform. This seems to fit the bill more than anything so far. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
