Well, for my own project I'm happy I'm replacing my Java code with Scala code. Readability, lightness... and if you want a dysfunctional programming style, that's available too.

<yangsai1119@...>Hello all,
Today I came across with this blog post:
http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2009/04/scala-as-long-term-replacement-for.html
Seems like James has great faith in Scala. I do, too, as Scala has got
many amazing strengths. But to replace Java?
I've come across with this Introduction to Functional Languages
lately: http://java.dzone.com/articles/introduction-functional . One
statement was that "An important observation is that functional
languages are not a replacement for procedural or object-oriented
programming language", which I totally agree with. The “polygot
programmer” seems to be the future trend for me.
So what's your view on it?
Cheers,
