That's what I said earlier, I need to find some type to dive into it. As far as Scala is concerned, it's not on my list of items to learn. Too Java-ish to me and clunky. It's not because you mix all the latest features in a single language that the result is a significant landmark.
It took a significant amount if time to Haskell designers to think about feature set, it's not the same caliber at all. Before choosing Clojure for our product, I looked at it and rejected it and still have no regrets doing so. Java in it's future releases will follow on the same slippery road of feature aggregation w/o coherency, the "let's please everyone" approach never led to anything exceptional. It makes only things more confusing thanks to these guys... http://search.dilbert.com/search?p=R&srid=S3-USESD01&lbc=dilbert&w=marketing%20idea&url=http%3a%2f%2fdilbert.com%2fstrips%2fcomic%2f1999-02-06%2f&rk=7&uid=203834662&sid=2&ts=custom&rsc=YmDLFs%3as9q%3aosTfU&method=and&isort=date&view=list&filter=type%3acomic Luc P. > especially haskell & scala are missing in your list :) > as long as you haven't at least seen haskell, you haven't seen the creme de > la creme of statically typed languages > > > 2013/10/9 Softaddicts <lprefonta...@softaddicts.ca> > > > Let's see: > > > > strong data typing: > > > > Fortran > > Cobol > > Pl/1 > > Pascal > > C/C++ > > Java > > C# > > Ruby > > > > à la carte data typing or no data typing at all: > > > > Basic (more or less depending on the implementation) > > Lisp > > Clojure > > A dozen assemblers > > A dozen scripting languages > > > > And I probably forgot some while excluding the ones I worked with > > (Algol, Simula, GPSS, ...) in academic projects.
