Yeah if scala.List is differnt from java.util.List means that Scala is incompatible with Java then Java is incompatible with itself because it has java.util.List and java.awt.List also it has java.util.Date and java.sql.Date. And a bunch of others. Hahaha.
Thanks for the tip about conversions. I guess it would be nice if Scala could do that conversion without the import but the import is no big deal. Java was my first language and then I learned Ruby. I really liked Ruby but I missed strong typing. I read something by David Pollock that said that Scala was like a strong typed ruby so I started learning it. It's really easy so far. It's a lot like Java but closures are like Ruby blocks and I don't write so many types. Renier says that enterprise developers can't handle Scala because the syntax is different from Java or C. He must think we're very stupid. I'm going to do like you are and ignore him. I don't like being called stupid.
