I attended a KiwITech session yesterday as one of my friends and workmates, Antony Stubbs, was presenting about Scala. In short, Scala integrates features of both object-oriented programming and functional programming while running on existing Java platforms.
Personally, I found the session very interesting and a good head-start if I want to look further into Scala language. Unlike Tony’s view, I disliked that Scala is a loosely typed! Maybe I am biased in my perspective on loose vs strong typed languages.
Anyway, if you want to learn more on scala then head over to Tony’s Blog: http://stubbisms.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/my-foray-into-the-world-of-scala/#comments
