Scala includes a number of exciting features (from ML, and LISP - which are languages I've always admired) and throws in some new ideas based on accidental complexities of other popular languages, including Java . However, what makes Scala so exciting is the fact that the question "But, Will it replace Java?" is basically moot. Giving that it targets the JVM, it's not hard to envision an application containing components written in Java *and* Scala. As someone who hasn't been sold on using pared-down scripting languages, I can see myself leveraging Scala's rich functional and type inference capabilities in a way that allows the accompanying Java code to be cleaner. |
