Classes are mutable by default (you can even make case classes mutable if you want), variables are not "val" by default, methods can modify fields without any ceremony, etc... Mutable support in Scala comes much more from the libraries and developer discipline than the language itself (nothing wrong with that, by the way, it's one of the pragmatic aspects of Scala that I appreciate). Other than that, I agree with the overall direction of your FileSystem abstraction. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
