@yojibee Who are you and what did you do to @akpetteroe? She didn't have this cut above her eye ;-)

@boristerzic Unlike Java, Scala is consistent about generics, even for arrays. Unfortunately you can't mark arrays covariant in Java.

@rhirsch Competition is great. I was always stimulated to commit when others commit too

@rhirsch When do you sleep? I'm just trying to keep up with the number of your commits ;-)

@jorgeortiz85 The Go programming language might be looking for a new name, so why not change a letter and call it Do?

@dpp Scala wouldn't be where it is without you. Lift is a poster child for what Scala can do. So Scala should also thank you.

@boristerzic Scala arrays are usually compiled to Java arrays, unless type parameter is unknown: http://is.gd/4ZPYd

@jboner I thought when he was 6 months old that it's going to get better since he won't wake us as often. I was wrong...

Went to put son to sleep. Next thing I remember, I wake up in the middle of the night with my clothes on. So much for late night coding.

Hey, now there should be enough time to put JodaTime in JDK7 as the standard date/time implementation.

@kohlerm Not necessarily a bad thing ;-)

After closures, add persistent collections to Java. The language will look so different, I suggest renaming it to Scala. Oh wait...

.@kohlerm I think Sun have realized the need to stay relevant, not sure if it is too late to catch up. Closures mean delay for JDK7.

The casual closures announcement makes them seem like a small language change. I imagine someone suggesting them for Project Coin... again.

Is it the 1st April? A couple of months ago even simple stuff like exception multicatch was rejected, and now CLOSURES are accepted?

I want to introduce Scala as much as anyone, but code embedded in an XML comment is a sneaky perverse abomination & will leave a bad taste.

@nuttycom Can you provide an example of how a proxy might mess up pattern matching?
Tuesday, 17-Nov-09 08:36:35 UTC from laconicabar -
@nuttycom isDefined works only on Option/Box though, and a match catches any incompatible types, e.g. expecting Nil if type is Set.

@dmakariev Pattern matching was the most unfamiliar thing to me after Ruby/Python/Java, but isn't new for functional languages. Power²
