It seems a very curious statement that you feel as though you've lost control with Scala. How exactly do you even define control in this sense? Is control having to use plus instead of + when adding BigIntegers? or is it explicitly using a SAM type instead of just passing a function that compares

It often makes me wonder, when people talk down on JDBC and patterns, what the real problem is. The way I see it, there are 2 main objectives in a reasonably high level language like Java: 1. to let you consume API; and 2. to let you author your own API. That means one has a choice of
