  1. @pandamonial "Seeing things in scala that I cant easily do in F#" - that's priceless, given some of our past dialogs eons ago :)
  2. @jorgeortiz85 that would make a great scala shirt.
  3. @fogus congrats, that reminded me of my appleII days. would be seriously funny if you impl'd poke and peek via jni calls.
  4. @wgren maybe they's allow http://code.google.com/p/specs/ if you gave them a quick overview of scala?
  5. @bascule btw, luv reia, but is it ironic given reia's motivations rooted in revactor experiment? ie, also a rewrite away from ruby platform.
  6. @bascule if memcach protocol was strategic, then rewrite justified. it's only 7 classes.
  7. @dysinger per actor per vm isolation is the only feature scala actors cannot have. no barrier for the other items. apples/oranges cmp imo.
  8. @al3xandru more hints about the book's contents, please :)
  9. @DRMacIver i'm amused at the amount of time functional people argue against imperative features in an object-function fusion language.
  10. @pk11 wow, i thought they'd spend more time on 'real world' idioms and getting practical with scala.
  11. @DRMacIver you've always had an edge, but most of us approve of your use of wit. hell, i'd say we demand it! :)
  12. @pk11 initial impressions?
  13. @DRMacIver agree, but scala's type system can lead to a "type soup" of chars devoid of "mental anchors" not found in your amalgamation.
  14. after 4 mo break, catching up w/scala - reading about delimited continuations support (scala 2.8) - amazing control structure possibilities.
  15. @muncman not a bad idea. would also like to import data to get heatmaps of production activity on the code base.
  16. @jorgeortiz85 theory that reinforces @drmaciver 's calls for precompilation transforms. "mimic" = pidgeon langs = bridge to other langs.
  17. @jorgeortiz85 that's an awesome testiment to Scala's extensibility, but i think Number still belongs in the Scala Type hierarchy.
  18. @drmaciver @jorgeortiz85 given the prediction of more languages, wouldn't scala adoption/evolution thrive from better ability to mimic?
  19. @DRMacIver pre-comp transformer would be useful imo. did your proposal include a mechanism to provide the "transform" context to the dbgr?
  20. @headius air a bit clunkier on mac, not too bad on windows.
