If it is slow then it is pain. Computer speeds might enhance faster than ides ;) > Yes, it gives you context help.

What I hate about java is its one-dimensionality... ehh.. say you have: object man object man carrying bag bag carrying pencil case. Now I want the man to hand me the pencil, I must implement: * man.getpencil->man.getbag.getpencil * bag.getpencil->bag.getpencilcase.getpencil * pencilcase.getpencil In real business cases this is very OK, but usually there are 90% just dummy getters and 10% are real business objects like "transfer money in avery safe and robust manner"... I whish there was an easy way to "transparently penetrate beans". I could actually call man.getPencil and it would be authorized to fetch it from bag,pencilcase. Ofcourse I could configure exceptions to the rule, but in general I could say that "it is allowed in general" or "it is not allowed in general". And maybe annotate access rules. Maybe there is a compile time tool that does just this already for java? Something like bindgen or Project Lombok? That is the next foreseeable "obstacle" in making java efficient. After that it's maybe time for fancy functional proframming or multiple inheritance ;) ** Martin > > > > On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 1:34 AM, James Carman > <ja...@carmanconsulting.com>wrote: > >> Since scala is statically-typed, the ide can (and does) give you contextual >> help very easily >> On Jan 8, 2011 2:21 AM, "Martin Makundi" < >> martin.maku...@koodaripalvelut.com> >> wrote: >> >> But it will do the right thing about 90% of the time. you'll >> subconsciously >> >> work around 4 or 5% of the rest that doesn't work, and the remaining >> 5-6% >> >> will irritate you. >> > >> > I am used to coding 90% using context help with eclipse (ctrl+space). >> > I am a fast writer but that speeds up my coding by 1000%. >> > >> > Will an IDE do that for scala 90%? >> > >> > I consider context help and quickfix proposals most important for speedy >> work. >> > >> >> - imports sometimes get messed up (relative vs absolute, I hate that in >> >> scala) and require a manual correction >> > >> > Import organization is important to me also.
