The call was for something that couldn't be made better in Scala. You picked something that could be made better in Java (you even cede this in claiming it is poor Java). So.... converting this to "good" Java should be the comparison point, no? This seems akin to claiming any poor design in one language should be just as poor in another language. If you truly want a good example of something that is "better" in java, one need only look at for loops with an eye to optimization. Of course, you do run the debate of abstraction versus performance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
