You can write Scala to pretty much just look and run like old school Java if you want. I haven't seen any benchmarks, but I doubt a Scala app written idiomatic

I haven't seen any benchmarks, but I doubt a Scala app written idiomatic style would be any slower than the Java version written in idiomatic style.
Also, what is this C spirit we are trying to stay close to? I'm certainly not interested in any "C spirit"
- bitcharmer 6y agoThe C spirit I'm referring to is the raw, verbose and low-level-ish nature of writing code in C. For high-performance/low-latency Java apps it is absolutely crucial to have this level of control over code and resulting instructions emitted by the compiler. On the other hand - if you don't care about it and want to focus on domain-level stuff you absolutely can. This is what I find the most appealing about Java.
