all the things people have come up with to date have problems, one way or another, including all the stuff in scala. so while there are some good pros to the things which have been done, and they are probably for the most part better than crappy lame old bog-standard java, i worry when people don't explicitly mention and look for the bad things about those features. (i do appreciate a language that makes decisions about things, though. while it is nice to have a language that is flexible enough to do whatever however, i think in the long run it ends up meaning that everybody spends a lot of time and effort making incompatible things. look at http://www.winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html which also points to http://www.lambdassociates.org/blog/bipolar.htm for example.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
