Re: Scala vs Fan

Guys,

  I'm not sure...uhh...making fun of Fan is appropriate (even if they take occassional shots at Scala)...  In many ways Fan seems to move away from Java in the opposite direction as Scala does.  Scala has more rigorous type checking than Java, and Fan has less rigorous typing and is more dynamic.

 

 

So if you look at the diagram available above, Scala moves from Java towards the likes of Haskell, Fan moves more towards dynamic languages.  Depending on your perpective that could be good, bad, or indifferent.

Guys,

I think it's good that people unable to grasp Scala has an alternative to go to,
