Because they usually repeat the mistakes Scala and its users try to avoid. I'm sure many would do the same but mentioning Java if a new language looked like Java but added goto and implicit conversions from object pointers to booleans. -----Original Message----- From: Blazej Bucko <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 17:41:09 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Yet another JVM lang: Extend
I don't understand one thing: Why, when new statically typed language with closures comes up, scala community (I assume that Simon is scala enthusiast :)) calls it "half assed scala imitation"? I don't see this kind of attitude from Groovy community. Is scala one and only language and we must shoot everything else? Scala is great and all, but there are other great languages. Maybe Xtend will be better. Or at least have better tools :) Regards, Blazej Bucko On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Simon Ochsenreither <[email protected]> wrote: > for(month <- year2011) > yetAnotherHalfAssedScalaImitation += 1 > > :-) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "The Java Posse" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/javaposse/-/iJYIO_lxvV4J. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
