Well, the Scala sample created by Rickard simply used standard Qi4j features to create the "bridge" with "TraitMixin" to be applied when you have traits.
Likewise; libraries/scripting contains simplistic support for implementing Mixins in javascript, jruby, beanshell or groovy. (These libs needs some more care though) So, a lot can already be done without additional hooks and I am not totally sure what you have in mind. Without it, I have a bit hard time commenting on it. -- Niclas On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Dag Blakstad <[email protected]> wrote: > Would it be possible to create a delegate residing in the Scala Support > module? > > By introducing a delegate interface more languages could be introduced > without adding concrete dependencies into Qi4J core module(s). > > I guess a similar situation has been resolved by the the Play Framework, > that supports both plain Java and Scala.
