Scala example is wrong, wouldn't even compile; should be: def blubExtra(a: Int, b: Int): Int = blub(inc(a), inc(b)) The original would need an equals thrown in there, otherwise it's procedural syntax (IIRC, has been deprecated or will be in the next release) which has a return type of Unit, thus not compiling when specifying a return type of Int. def blubExtra(a: Int, b: Int): Int = { blub(inc(a), inc(b)) }
