No. Must be because I actually use the language instead of trying to bash it to advertise another language. :-)
I'm still excited to see another language solving the problem mentioned in the article. At the moment it really looks like as Scala gets bashed for the complexity of something not possible in any other language out there.
- pron 15y agoYeah, I'm sorry about that. That was not my intention. But you're right, I have grown disillusioned with Scala, partly because of stuff like the examples in the pop-quiz section of the post, but mostly because of the other things I mentioned. But I don't agree with your analysis. I won't go into the question of whether or not the feat mentioned in the post is possible in other languages or not, but I do know that if I came to a rather experienced Scala programmer and asked him off-hand if the tasks attempted in the post are easy, I suspect that the answer would be "yes". Scala is just... surprising like that.
