“There's been a lot of chatter lately about static vs. dynamic languages, code size, code density, etc. Many people lump Scala into the statically typed bucket because Scala has static typing. But what most folks don't realize is that Scala has most of the flexibility and syntactic economy of languages like Ruby and Python while supporting compiler checking of types to flag errors.”
The more I read about Scala, the cooler it becomes. I just got the 700+ page book; look out, world!
