Scala is much more "joined at the hip" with XML because of its support for XML literals, but I don't see anything intrinsic to Java that makes it tied to XML. Another thing that puzzles me about Ceylon is the timing: Gavin says that he and his team have been working on it for two years and yet they don't even have a prototype to show. Reaching such a stage should take a few months to one programmer. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
