My knowledge of compiler constructions is fairly limited and I
might be wrong, but it seems to me that the Scala compiler is
broken. Scala has gained some bad reputation for long build times
(just google for Scala and build time) which IMHO cannot be
explained by the large number of language fe
If I remember what the state of Groovy is (around 2012). The
compiler devs focussed quite heavily on functionality not
performance. Even refused to go that direction.
It was quite bad.
Its a real shame. I liked it. Although if they had and had
unsigned types I probably wouldn't be in D!

What about Clojure? It is getting real world use. The recent
release makes it easier to call Clojure from Java. Example:

That's right. As Smalltalk is dynamically typed it is not an
issue there anyway and Java to begin with had to parameterized
types till JDK4.

developing cloud solutions or other style of server-side

I use vibe.d for a small server side application. It's quite
fast, although we haven't tested it on a larger scale yet. On
the downside, vibe.d's API is not quite intuitive, so it takes
a while to get used to it. But that might be down to the fact
that it's not easy to write an intuitive API
e. As I already said
the FiberScheduler by Sean Kelly could achieve something in that
direction. That would make a big difference for using D for
server-side applications beyond the argument of being more
productive than C++.

Very nice piece of work. Thank you! The PDF version seems not to
have a table of contents. Would be really helpful if it had :-).
Java programmers are having to come to terms with this. Python
programmers sort of have, except that BDFL has failed to accept
the correct end point and still likes loops. Scala has done it
all wrong. (Further opinions available on request :-)
Could you provide some sample Scala code to demons

D is a lot like Scala on the JVM: Both language have myriads of

Dynamic class loading means there is no more link step.
