Scala can run in command line mode, which is pretty useful for learning.
If you are coming from Java, as I was, the learning curve was pretty shallow towards doing useful things.

- StavrosK 16y agoThank you, I come from Python but I should be able to make some sense out of it...
- jfager 16y agoOne of the hardest parts of getting into Scala for me (coming from mostly Java and Python) was that the yield keyword means something significantly different from what it means in Python. This actually broke my heart early on, as Python's generators are one of my favorite features from any language. Delimited continuations in 2.8 make up for it and then some, but they're much harder to grok, imo. Python's yield gets you 80% of the same benefits with about 20% of the brain bending.
