Come on guys, he probably just means that he's able to find samples to
common problems by search the web far more easily in Java than in
Scala. That's true, and one of the strengths of Java clearly.

I really hope I haven't understood well. Are you really saying that
you prefer Java because you can easily find code to copy & paste? If
so, I am sorry, but I am glad you
Wow!
It's a very brave man who'll not just admit to copy+paste programming, but
will actually present it as a useful and even desirable practice.
If anything, I'd argue that the prevalance of such practices indicates one
of Java's weaknesses, the language tends towards APIs that are complex to
us

Scala , F# and other functional languages are recently showing up in a
lot of programming job ads in the finance sector.
For relatively stand alone projects with a lot of complex formulaic
business logic it is a good solution if one can devote the time to
becoming fluent in using it, it is a better

Could you elaborate on the OO advantages of Scala?

Not to mention the (often overlooked) i
Is everyone simply using Scala as a more concise Java?
I love the conciseness, however, it seems that the stronger argument
for Scala over Java is the improved support for functional and
immutable programming.
