  Historical tidbit: Pizza is the precursor to Java's own generics implementation (introduced in Java 5), both were written by Martin Odersky who then went on to create Scala.

      - Generics (aka Parametric polymorphism) - Function pointers (aka First-class functions) - Class cases and pattern matching (aka Algebraic types) 13 years, and only it's three features has made it into Java I wish Sun found a way to transfer the Java trademark to Odersky before dying. Scala has so many nice features that companies prohibit because the language isn't called "Java".
