It combines much of the best features of previous languages, innovates further, and tries to avoid mistakes of the past. It targets the advanced, cross-platform Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which has a vast ecosystem of 3rd party support that can be tapped by other languages besides Java. Scala compiles to the same byte code, with a better language that learns from dynamic and functional languages. I think Scala is not yet widely enough adopted and strong enough in third party library support to recommend if you want or need to do rapid application development. If not in a pressing situation to produce apps, however, I suggest learning Scala, http://scala-lang.org Jamal On 8/25/2010 9:12 PM, Alex Midence wrote: > Thanks.
