Amazing. Great news. Good job guys. Wish I was there. 2009/11/21 Timothy Perrett <timo...@getintheloop.eu>: > Folks, > > I got back from Devoxx late last night and thought I would just post > some thoughts and experiences from the event. > > Firstly, there was an awesome interest in Scala and Lift - my talk was > really busy (~550 people) and the general Scala Enthusiast BOF right > afterwards was packed. > > Myself, Bill Venners, Viktor Klang and Frank Sommers pretty much > represented a cross-section of Scala projects at the BOF and > throughout the whole week we were pretty much swamped with Scala > questions and interest.
