That's just the simple features. Do I need to go on with more advanced topics? The document doesn't even talk about classes nor var and val. Look, the fact that the Kojo documentation barely talks about Scala is what makes Kojo great. It's a tool for beginners and thankfully, the Kojo authors realize this and they understand the concepts of complexity and learning curve. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
