My main impression after using Scala a little bit (admittedly some time ago): it has some very cool functional features, but they are too slow when compared with the non-functional features. When working on a program for which performance matters, this means that you end up working on a Java-like subset of the language in most of the program.
- kasey_junk 13y agoWell I would argue that when you are working on something where performance matters on the JVM you end up working on a very C-like subset of your language. Java makes the translation to that subset easier than Scala, but you can certainly do the same translation from Scala.
