Minus the type system that is itself Turing complete.
In all seriousness, the culture behind C# is way too conservative for it to ever to become like Scala. They add features, but they're nowhere near as bold and daring as the Scala team. As a language, Scala's is both incredibly impressive and terrifying from an Abstraction Astronaut's perspective. Even F# is very conservative compared to Scala.
- algorithmsRcool 10y agoI had a lot of hope for some wilder C# changes with the .Net core change. But i see a lot of hold back from established codebases. I almost wish we could fork the language to target the Java-esque crowd and the Go/Swift/Scala crowd.
- premium-concern 10y agoYes, C# really prefers adding two dozen special cases and language features instead of providing one generic way of achieving something like in Scala. :-(
