There's also Mono; more familiar to Java developers and with it's own set of awesome stuff. Sadly it's missing from the JVM, but for all practical purposes it represents a Java 2.0 (opt-in type inference, dynamic typing, nullable types, lambda's, expression trees, properties etc.). Scala might very well be 3.0, but I fear the gap between 1.0 and 3.0 is too great. Undeniably, Scala has a big opportunity here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
