"Bill Venners, co-author of the Scala book, gave a nice introduction to
the Scala programming Language at JAOO last year. "
Actually, he gives a nice introduction to the concepts /we/ have been
discussing. And no other crap. :-)
Bill is a nice guy (I met him), but I don't quite like this talk. Gosh,
he spends like *forever* on the if statement... at some point he asks
people whether they've seen the ?: operator... does JAOO stand for
Conference of Brain Damage Survivors?
And if I see the O(n)-space factorial example once more, I'm going to
throw my shoes at the speaker. Use a loop and get a life.
Also, is that a bug in the Java code at 12:17? I'm seeing a statement line:
BigInt.ONE;
that I think is just an object, so the statement has no effect. Right?
If so, well, that's quite bad.
