All the Scala books and tutorials recommend using the Scala interactive shell to set up scenarios and learn how Scala works.
I agree, but my problem was the (apparent) lack of something like Python's >>>dir(object) call, which gives you all the 'names' available; Ruby and Erlang have similar commands, but not, as far as I know, Scala. I did find a little script that does just that at: http://lousycoder.com/blog/index.php?/archives/91-Scala-Querying-an-objects-fields-and-methods-with-reflection.html with the source at: http://gist.github.com/87519 I compiled it, and when I import it, it works just dandy: scala> import ScalaReflection._ import ScalaReflection._ scala> 3.methods__ hashCode reverseBytes(int) compareTo(Object) compareTo(Integer) equals(Object) toString(int,int) toString(int) ... scala> 3.fields__ MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE TYPE digits DigitTens DigitOnes sizeTable value SIZE serialVersionUID Perhaps there is something like this already built-in to Scala, but I can't find it... if not, it may be worthwhile adding. Now, what I want to know is: is there a way to load an actual Lift session into the interactive command interpreter, so I can create and check out out functions, etc? I remember doing that with Ruby and Rails back in the day. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
