Dean Wampler twittered about this presentation on Scala at Twitter. He also has some excellent, detailed posts in his Seductions of Scala series at Object Mentor. (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.)
The more I’ve been reading about Scala, the more excited I get. I think a functional language could do wonders for our code at work. I think I’ll take one of our simpler models and write a Scala version to do a comparison with the java version. I’m hoping this might go a long way towards convincing the powers that be that a functional language would improve the quality of our code.
