Impressive turnout at Scala eXchange, both in terms of registrants (400 or so attendees) and speakers (Simon Peyton Jones, Jonas Boner, Victor Klang, David Pollack, etc.), not to mention the venue, a big time conference (for Scala) on all fronts.
Scala.io in Paris was quite small in comparison; however, the after party in Paris (free drinks all night long, woo hoo ;-)) blew away the staid affair in London (single round of drinks on the house, some inane blah, blah question/answer session re: the same old, why is Scala so complex, followed by most everyone leaving).
Anyway, the conference itself was well worth its weight in pounds, hope to make the trip again next year, this time with Scala 2.11 in full swing, good times ahead.

- saryant 13y agoI haven't been to any Scala events yet though I did watch a number of the videos from Scala Days 2013 and I'm hoping to attend 2014 in Berlin. What exactly made London so bad?
- virtualwhys 13y agoNothing was bad about the London conference, quite the contrary. Was just pointing out the difference in the after party between scala.io Paris and scala eXchange London, not a big deal at all, both of the _conferences_ were great.
