Scala is a modern language that integrates features from both object-oriented and functional languages - and it also interoperates with Java. Scala is starting to gather some fans like Paul and Roberto; Paul in particular has written several entries on Scala, including Scala on Jersey (the JAX-RS RI at GlassFish). |
Paul's latest entry shows how to run Scala on GlassFish using the example of Skittr a Scala-based implementation of Twitter. If you like Programming Languages, you may want to check it out; the next few years will be fun....
Added: Don't miss Jamey's comment on this post - it has plenty of useful links.
I've just started looking into Scala myself, but am finding it very interesting. Looking at the Skittr example, the author says:
How is that kind of scalability achieved with so few lines of code? One big part of it is probably Scala's ability to handle concurrency without forcing programmers to deal directly with threads. For more info on that, see:
And some other links I've found interesting so far are:
