My opinion is that the only advantage in many places are a higher salary than Italy (also because of lower taxes), but the quality scenario is similar. I only have a very limited experience, so I'd like to hear from others.

Difficult, it's difficult (I mean, I find it difficult even to have the testing culture accepted, which is a simpler issue); but difficult doesn't mean impossible. In my opinion, it's a thing that should be exercised by playing the devil's advocate a lot. PS To complete the scenario, back to simplicity vs powerfulness, for a new language to be successful I think the same "magic" that made the Java success should repeat. Now, I'd like to recall that at the time it was C++ vs Java, and that Java 1.0 was everything but more powerful than C++; both on the client and on the server. It was simpler, a lot simpler, and this was relevant. So, perhaps we could start a new thread: is it possible to trim Scala? I mean, are there features of the language that can be dropped, thus reducing complexity, still keeping a 'core' of advantages? - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
