Your assumption that my criticism over Scala is because I hadn't tried it is as valid as my assumption of your disagreement with me is because you haven't tried hard enough.
I had tried Scala on multiple occasions since 2.8 came out. Every time for about 1 month to 5 months. It's impossible to explain how messed up Scala is without writing a whole book about it so I admit it's hard for me to convince you. God I miss SML and Haskell.
Maybe this guy can:

- frowaway001 13y agoSo how would you solve his "issue"? (Assuming that you have understood his problem at all.)
- wyuenho 13y agoI wouldn't bother. I'd just go ahead and use 2 distinct APIs directly, and then after a while, I'll realize my code look more and more Javaish, and then I'll switch back to Java.
- frowaway001 13y agoAh, ok. So you haven't understood the problem, but wanted to say something. Great.
- wyuenho 13y agoI mean I wouldn't bother to shoehorn a Scala wrapper on Java's array.
- frowaway001 13y agoYes, but that's not the point of the article, right?
