What are you going to accuse me of next, being a nazi? This discussion was never about Scala, it's about Kojo and whether Kojo teaches you Scala. You need to calm down and step away from the computer for a while, because you're being way too emotional about this. Come back when you've cooled down. Okay. About you questioning my knowledge of Scala: I helped review Bill's book since the very early days. For all you know, I might even have been coding in Scala for longer than you. But you know what, this is *irrelevant*. Address the message, not the messenger. And my message has been crystal clear and fact based since the beginning of this discussion. Here it is, once more. Throughout this thread, I have given you nothing but facts pertaining to the Kojo documentation, the latest one being a list of Scala features that I claim are *not* mentioned in the Kojo documentation. It's a simple proposition that should be trivial to invalidate if you are right: a simple search through the forty page Kojo documentation will do. It's a yes or no proposition. And you choose to respond with ad hominem attacks... Classy, Kevin, really classy. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
