Lets fix that list a bit shall we? It's clearly tailored to make things

easy:
control flow: loops, iterators, if/else
collections: lists, sets, maps
basic algebra: expressions, tuples, functions, pattern matching, case

I would love to create an animation for Fork and Join - I am not quite sure
what it would look like,
Any ideas for FJ animations that a person can watch and say aha!?

Ahh, the belief that some more abstract language contains concepts that
simply aren't relevant to you.
This is perhaps *the* defining characteristic of a blub developer

Hey Victor,
I have some ideas about fork-join but I'm afraid it won't fit into your current
template. You really need a queue based view instead of the barrier based view
that you are using.

On the other hand, Scala gives you the equally awesome power
of type classes, which demand static typing. Take your pick!
Umm, feels like you're missing something: Fantom gives you static
typing when you can, dynamic typing when you can't - the time of
having to pick one over another, is gone.

The statement Scala is Complex doesn't bother me. Scala is Too complex
starts to irk. Too complex for who? Too Complex for what?
Then any sort of random blanket statement that is false really irritates,
such as much of what was stated about Kojo. When you learn to program, do
you learn
I agree with that conclusion that the debate may become irelevant, though
not your reasoning.
First, Java really is not representative of static typing, that would be
like using the tellytubbies as an example of British television.
OCaml is good for typing, Scala is very good, the
Certainly, but this is a Java forum and within Java, platform
interoperability (embracing your surroundings) is seen as a danger to
the agenda of OS interoperability (this is what you get, no more and
no less). I am sure that some Android guys for instance look a little
jealous over at MonoDroid

Let me get this right You claim to have a coherent understanding of
Scala, based not on a book, but rather just the table of contents of a book?

Ok you two. You're just arguing ad hominem now. And throwing up straw men.

P.S. There is a typo in the slide regarding BlockingQueues; it says
poll() where it should say take(). (There is a blocking
poll(timeout) method, but that's not the one your demo calls and I
think put() and take() are what we think of as the blocking
operations, and offer()

Okay, so perhaps I flew off the handle a bit.

the repeated half truths and falsehoods that I'm seeing here, on a very

I find it amazing that any email comparing Java to Scala erupts with
comments, while there has been a positive dearth of opinions and discussion
on JavaFX. I am tempted to conclude that Scala is indeed a very important
movement, judging on the spectrum and intensity of the discussion pro and
con.
You are so right! Great catch - it is now corrected.

Heh, Kevin, classic maneuvre.
You do realize Paul Graham's argument is that _EVERY_ language,
including scala, is blub, right?
I'd also be careful calling Fabrizio essentially too stupid to realize
the world is bigger than java. I'm fairly sure he knows.

Nah. Scala fans are just really, _really_ loud. I'm reminded of what a
friend once told me 3 years ago, when the discussion came up about
what he'd buy for a new notebook.
I'd buy a mac, except evidently, if I do, I turn into a jackass.
I'm not sure if anyone still remembers, or even if this was
