How can Scala be state of the art when it is so bad. They probably meant to say newest, in which case I nominate Dart to take Scala's place.

- theatrus2 15y agoState of the art doesn't mean good implementation of state of the art. I personally wouldn't call Scala bad either, but that's another discussion.
- oacgnol 15y agoPerhaps it's not Scala but the paradigms that define it that are "state of the art". Multiple paradigms like functional programming, OOP, and other nice syntactical things make Scala very much a language of the future, even if its current implementation is poor. It's a marker to where we may be headed in language development.
