Scala has been vastly improved since 2.8. If the experience you stated comes from Scala 2.8 I think you will love the way things are working currently.
I wouldn't want to go back to 2.8 even if people paid me a ton of money.
I love ML, but think OCaml is a poor ML. That's why I love Scala. It's extremely consistent, and design decisions are very considerate.
It's an amazing language and I can express my intentions much better than in OCaml (no typeclasses, no higher-kinded types, etc.).
- PeCaN 10y agoI'll check it out again! Thankfully I'm no longer working with the JVM, so I doubt I'll use it much, but it could be fun to take another look at. Oh, and OCaml is possibly getting typeclasses (via modular implicits—not unlike Scala actually, for better or worse). It's not very painful if you use an alternate standard library (i.e. Core) that actually takes advantage of OCaml's amazing module system.
