Jon,
By sub-optimal design decisions, do you mean sub-optimal in the
context of what Scala is actually trying to be, or sub-optimal in the
context of what you'd like Scala to be? I can understand that someone
coming to Scala from an OCaml background might be missing some of the
aspects of OCaml and choose to stay clear of Scala on that basis (and
it's a good education for me to see where OCaml can express things
more elegantly - thanks). But the Scala team aren't trying to create a
new OCaml. They're trying to create a language that integrates well
into the Java ecosystem with a lot of functional features. The phrase
'sub-optimal' has got to be qualified with a context.

Dave Webb
