Over the course of the weekend a number of people asked me about Scala and wasn’t time for a lightening talk so here are some of the resources and topics to help see why scala and where it fits. The reasons I use Scala is that it helps me think more clearly (reason more simply) about programmin

Hi Pascal, I agree with you. But there are a couple of problems that can't be solved by means of extension. We have to make use of hacks as soon as reporting bugs/suggestions of improvement to Apple is ineffective. It's very disappointing. Sent from my iPhone On 11/11/2010, at 23:08, Pascal R

Potential new adopters of WO at the beginning are likely to be more interested to know whether WO can fit their purpose than interested in contributing to Wonder. The more adopt WO, the more likely some of them will at some point contribute. So, whether Wonder is open or not is more of a concern to
