RE: Scala newbie.

Also I think you misunderstood Daniel. It seemed to me that he agreed with your last point: it's necessary to know enough Java to read documentation such as that of Swing or java.io, but not to have a "formal," thorough "education" in Java.

Thanks Ricky, maybe you're right, but I'm sceptic.

So @rneto167: Perhaps you simply try without Java and
give us some feedback at how it works?
(Would be an interesting research).

Your questions here would give a hint about what a
non-Javaist would really need to know.
