It's the opinion of an expert who's spent the last five years of his life working on his topic, calling this FUD is quite unfair. Paul goes also quite a bit further than just criticizing the Scala collections, he's basically saying "I don't care so much about languages, languages are just tools. All I want is good tools to write good software". He's quite emotional about that. By the way, the link above is an extended version of his talk, which includes the questions and answers at the end (I found the comments about Twitter's use of Scala quite interesting). -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
