Bruce Eckel on Scala

[jducoeur]

What the heck, I haven't enthused this week. So instead, here's a link to someone else enthusing about Scala -- specifically, a Python enthusiast explaining why Scala, despite being a static language, satisfies many of the same motives that drive folks to dynamic languages. (As well as pointing up a bunch of the other strong points of the language.) Nothing new here, but if you've been curious, it's a good overview of "Why Scala?".

Why not Scala?

Heh. You know how we talked about me burbling at you about modern programming techniques? *Most* of that is going to be explaining why Scala is the best thing since sliced bread...

i figured as much. I'm REALLY looking forward to it.
