A bit off topic rant on the Eckel's article linked in the post.
1. I wish people stopped saying "static language that feels like dynamic". This is just a marketing slogan. Type inference is not a substitute to dynamic typing.
2. I know that coming up with a good, plausible code examples is difficult but it's not an excuse to give bad examples. House has-a Bedroom; House not is-a Bedroom.
3. > Scala has the best of both worlds: true multiprocessor parallelism and a powerful functional programming model
This sounds as if usually multiprocessor parallelism and functional programming are mutually exclusive and Scala finally managed to have the best of both worlds.
4. > v.foreach(println)
... eh, isn't this just passing a named function as a parameter?
