Another milestone has been reached, in that pattern matching expressions are being translated into Java (well, for now only a subset of them).
As usual, this and the remaining open problems [1] make for a great learning experience (how can you possibly like a language without knowing how its compiler works? ;-) The draft report: How the Scala-to-Java translator copes with Pattern Matching, http://www.sts.tu-harburg.de/people/mi.garcia/ScalaCompilerCorner/ScalaToJavaRound2.pdf The current prototype (a Scala compiler plugin): http://www.sts.tu-harburg.de/people/mi.garcia/ScalaCompilerCorner/code/pm4java.zip Cheers, Miguel [1] Another backend for the Scala compiler, http://www.sts.tu-harburg.de/people/mi.garcia/ScalaCompilerCorner/ScalaToJava.pdf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
