Speeches
The Scala programming language
Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common
programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly
integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java
and other programmers to be more productive. Code sizes are typically reduced by
a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application. Many
existing companies who depend on Java for business critical applications are
turning to Scala to boost their development productivity, applications scalability
and overall reliability.
During this meeting we will first cover basics of the language, then listen to
jugluganoers attending the First Scala Workshop in Lausanne on April 15-16, 2010.
An open discussion will follow, where everyone is welcome to contribute with
relevant considerations, experience, comments, critics, questions around Scala,
closures, and functional programming.
