Reiner, thank you for your comments, There were some good comments on the blog so my (light) baiting worked.
I know the title was provocative, yes. But "almost" leaves room for hope that Scala can be "better" than C# if some of the usabilty gaps are filled in. And those gaps could be filled in, some of them easily. Of course its *just*my*opionion*and*its*very*subjective. But it was based on some personal experience. I wanted to point out how good C# .net4 is now and where it outclassed Scala in a practical sense. I actually like Scala alot and would like to continue to use it, its foundations are far more solid than C# IMO *and* there are all the multi-platform, open source, kick-butt JVM advantages. But to pretend it kicks C# into touch at a language level, is wrong. Well almost. ;) Thanks again.
