Care to explain, because I can't see it.
- jablan 15y agoI believe that the impression is there because of the fact that Scala really reminds of a dynamically typed language, with type inference and lots of syntax sugar. And if PHP is the only dynamic language one has been exposed to, then well, PHP it looks like. :)
- colomon 15y agoIt certainly seems very fair to say that most dynamic languages have most of the features he's bragging about. That seems to be the a repeating pattern of the last several Scala articles I've seen here: The author is all excited about how terse it is (compared to Java, I guess), but it actually looks kind of bloated to me. :)
- petervandijck 15y agoTheir first example val entries = List(Map("name"->"joe","age"->35),Map("name"->"joe","age"->32)) looks much more like PHP than like the Java example they give: $entries = array("foo" => "bar", 12 => true); And downvotes? wtf, php-haters?
