I'm baffled by this. You agree that they are writing Scala code, such that at the end of a term using it they have done pretty much all of the following: Defined a function, defined a variable, assigned variables, called functions, defined a type. How is it that they didn't learn Scala, then? Seems the only things left are higher order topics. Ones that they are probably well equipped to handle, as they will not have to relearn the basics because they switched to a new language. And, this was brought to this topic because it is typically staunch Java defenders who want to say that Scala is too difficult for anyone to learn.
