They should just include the Scala plugin by default. It's the most popular plugin by a very wide margin.

The reason they dropped CLR support was because there was virtually no interest in it.

C# seems to look more like Scala with every release (a good thing), with talk of primary constructors for C# and string interpolation etc. EDIT: Interesting to see Neal Gafter is involved (See Roslyn mention here: http://www.gaft

Perhaps you could elaborate on how naming a random language relates to this discussion...

Scala for the Impatient is really good, but not sure that it's designed entirely for beginners. For more beginner-centric content perhaps check out: Learning Scala: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030287.do

Scala does take more work to learn than Java, but I never choose Java over Scala for a new project. Scala is just so much more modern and expressive. You can write perfectly readable Scala. It just takes some taste and common sense, or alte

The bleeding edge fork/branch isn't all that interesting to those of us using Scala in production, but it might be useful for experimentation.

In theory yes. In practice 99.99% of mainstream Java developers will run their code on Oracle's JVM.

It isn't too tricky finding places use Scala. Most of my dev work is done in Scala.

> Nothing pollutes java source more than getters and setters. I can't believe this still isn't being address. We ran out of patience and switched to Scala. Never been happier :)

We've been using Scala for a while now. It's a major step-up from Java in terms of sheer programming enjoyment (contrary to what the criticism parrots who don't actually use it would have you believe). Java is still very wide

There doesn't seem to be much demand or interest for that overall. They recently discontinued the .NET support. Almost everyone was using it on the JVM. Any specific reason why you'd need CLR instead of the JVM?

I've been using Java for about 15 years and largely agree with the article. The verbosity of the Java language is definitely part of the problem, although that aspect is downplayed in his blog post. I agree with the author about the cu
