At the very end, there's quote from Scala designer Martin Odersky:
"I like a lot of the design decisions they made in the language.. Basically I like all of them."
Considering how (at least, to my eye) the design principles of Scala seem very different than Go, I find that surprising. I guess it makes sense if you consider that there are multiple valid design paths that one can take.
- icey 15y agoI think it's much more challenging to find quotes from Martin Odersky where he talks about disliking a language than it is finding quotes where he talks about liking one. Scala is a bit of a kitchen-sink language; there are things in there from all over the place. It makes sense that he can find things to like in many disparate languages. (fwiw: I like Scala, and I like that Martin Odersky can find good things to say about other programming languages :))
- LiveTheDream 15y agoSomeone described to me recently "Go is to C as Scala is to Java".
- micrypt 15y agoThat doesn't quite sound right. The only premise I'd imagine in which it could be correct is to describe one as an "evolution" of the other.
