The Scala projects I've seen are not open-source, but some very interesting work being done in Scala in systems that might surprise you...
Twitter has some nice Scala libraries too: https://engineering.twitter.com/opensource/projects?tags%5B%...
I'm glad to see that Spring, which features heavily in the Java top 100, doesn't even make the top 100 for Scala. In my experience many Scala developers were previously Java developers. It's rather telling that they are…
Perhaps I'm missing something about Clojure, but it looks completely and utterly foreign. As someone who didn't have much trouble learning a "complex" language like Scala I find Clojure really hard to fathom.
Still quite far behind what is provided by C# and Scala, among others. At least it's a step in the right direction. These are the first major language changes to Java in nearly a decade, say what you like about Oracle,…
It's a pity the article didn't get more attention.
Play 2: Great except it's Scala. Ruled out. The Play guys went to great trouble to ensure that both Java and Scala are fully supported. Perhaps consider being a bit more open-minded about your options. Scala is simply a…
I'm currently deciding between learning Rust or Nimrod, having a good web framework would help Nimrod adoption.
A Lisp family language is hardly more approachable than Scala. I found Java -> Scala pretty smooth, but can't make head or tail of Clojure code as it looks completely different to languages I've used before.
I'd also like to see Nimrod in the results.
The first PHP result for the JSON test comes in at 31.7% of the performance of the top performer. PHP also occupies the bottom 3 worst slots.
Rails fairs badly across the board. I'm afraid you're the one who's "lazily" linking in this case. Of course you can have good latency if you instantly 500, and process far fewer requests than the competition.
The numbers vary greatly, depending on which test you look at. In the plaintext search Go only comes in at 13th: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r8&hw=i7...
It's been good to see the growth in the Scala community on many fronts. The Scala subreddit is starting to get quite lively. I've also encountering more developers using Scala at work rather than just something they use…
I've also been using IntelliJ for various large projects written in Scala, currently on the fence deciding whether upgrading to 13 worthwhile. Really hoping for an upgrade discount for all those who purchased IntelliJ…
Overall this is a very weak and one-sided blog post. Even a simple search would have answered his questions about why Scala doesn't use Hindley Milner type inference: http://www.scala-lang.org/old/node/4654 How this…
I happen to like Go, but the excessive marketing of Go on HN as a solution to every "problem" is tiresome.
Have the GC issues been resolved yet (particularly on 32 bit)?
I've developed and maintained multiple large systems in a team using various languages. I would much rather maintain a system written in Scala than either Java or various scripting languages we've used and the view is…
Google seems to have really lost the plot lately, forcing their policies and updates down our throats.
I'm rather excited about Nimrod, it actually looks a bit like Scala (pascal-style declarations). Scala has a lot of appeal for (most) organizations where the JVM is very widely used. I guess I tend to look at things…
As a software engineer I find Scala to be a very powerful tool, but one which takes some time to learn. I could see it being a useful teaching tool if they stay away from obscure corners of the language. I'm glad that…
