I have already demolished this claim on this thread, as you very well understand. I personally make it a policy to admit error when I err. It's up to you to decide whether this is also your policy, or whether you prefer goalpost-shifting and prevarication. > No, I demanded you reference a similar language to actually compare the benefits of your changes. I make it a firm policy to not talk about other new languages when I blog about Ceylon, because whenever I have mentioned Scala in the past, even just in passing, I have found myself the subject of quite vicious personal attacks. I'm going to continue with that policy, this thread notwithstanding. But thanks for your feedback anyway.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's certainly not a productive way to have a conversation, though, and it's rather confusing you'd try to argue for the benefits of your hard work without making them in terms of languages people actually use.
