Scala - the programming language

What is Scala?

Scala is a general purpose programming language principally targeting the Java Virtual Machine. Designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way,
it fuses both imperative and functional programming styles.
It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java and other programmers to be more productive.
Its key features are: statically typed; advanced type-system with type inference; function types; pattern-matching; implicit parameters and conversions; operator overloading; full interop with Java

Where to download it from? http://www.scala-lang.org/

Scala on Cloud: Heroku the popular cloud service provider is supporting the Scala.

Key Features:

  • Statically typed
  • Advanced type-system with type inference and declaration-site variance
  • Function types (including anonymous) which support closures
  • Pattern-matching
  • Implicit parameters and conversions which support the typeclass and pimp my library patterns
  • Mixin composition
  • Full interop with Java
