The end of my Scala adventures
April 19, 2008
Recently I’ve played a little with Scala. I really like the language but for now I will not continue playing with Scala. That has nothing to do with the language but is just a matter of time. What I really liked about Scala:
- clean syntax
- easy to understand once you master the basics
- great concurrency features
- reasonably good performane
In the future I will focus more on Groovy. Groovy is not better or worse than Scala. But it’s easier to learn for a Java developer than Scala and there is the great Grails framework. Also, the IDE support is IMHO better for Groovy than for Scala.
I am sure Scala has a great future, especially when it comes to concurrent programming. It’s definitely worth looking at it.
