Greetings posse, having spent more than half a decade writing API:s in Java I feel that since Java 5 was introduced, more and more time has to be spent writing boilerplate API code to try to save the API consumers from jumping through hoops in order to get stuff done. Because we all want easily consumable libraries, don't we?
Having jumped onto the Scala bandwagon about 1½ years ago I feel like the ratio of business end code of Java is appro 15% while in Scala it's more like 65% <observation>You can most likely substitute "Scala" in the text below with any non-Java JVM language</observation> With Scala getting more and more cleaner to be consumed by Java code, isn't there plenty of good reasons to switch to Scala for library code, while letting the application developers stay i Java-land? -- Viktor Klang Known from the Internet --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
