The quote about refactoring ease in Scala is interesting, since I imagine the experience would be the same in plain old Java - refactoring in any statically typed language is much easier when you are comparing to PHP, Python and Javascript.
- kasey_junk 13y agoIn fact it is a little dishonest. Refactoring in Scala is considerably worse than refactoring in Java due to the complexity of the language.
- brown9-2 13y agoTrue, I'm curious what (if any) IDE the quote-author is using for refactoring. Or perhaps they are just referring to the simplicity of something like being able to rename/edit a method signature and have the compiler catch all the references to the old name immediately.
