[jug-discussion] [4/8] Introduction to Scala
This coming Tuesday Tom Hicks and Randy Kahle will be presenting on the new JVM language Scala. From Scala's Web site (http://scala-lang.org): What is Scala? Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages. It is also fully interoperable with Java. There is even an interesting Web framework written using Scala called Lift: http://liftweb.net Remember we are meeting in a new location @ 5151 E. Broadway (http:// www.tucson-jug.org/display/TJUG/Meetings). Looking forward to seeing everyone as usual! -warner - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [jug-discussion] [4/8] Introduction to Scala
I attended a BoF for Scala this year at ACM OOPSLA in Montreal. Scala creators had done a tutorial that had garnered some buzz and I was really happy to hear about the language and the activity. I've only played with it a bit - but I'm really looking forward to hearing Tom and Randy's perspective!

Sorry, will be at work in San Francisco. Codin' Ruby ;) I really think it is a great goal to learn new languages frequently, but at this point in my life, it's not happening for me. Spare time is spent hacking open source in a language I already know and like (Ruby). I'm going to have enough trouble learning all the other things besides my language that change on a daily basis (like the SVN to Git paradigm shift for open source).

Re: [jug-discussion] [4/8] Introduction to Scala
I first heard about Scala from Howard Lewis Ship, and just yesterday it came up in a conversation with Bob Martin. There's a lot of interest in the language at the moment, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Tom and Randy have to say about it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
