*Martin Odersky:* I stand by what I said, but find the title of the post misleading and somewhat disconnected to the quote itself. We have to distinguish between suitability and appeal. I maintain that Scala is *suitable* for all programmers. At the present point of adoption it * appeals* mostly to good Java programmers, because those programmers realize that they get clear productivity advantages with Scala. That's OK. Over time, others will follow. An important trait of being a good programmer is the willingness to learn and push the boundaries of what can be done well. That's also why Scala is quite suitable for new programmers, including children and students. -- Kevin Wright mail / gtalk / msn : [email protected] pulse / skype: kev.lee.wright twitter: @thecoda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
