  1. @cbeust as @jamesiry said in the comments; the Scala -> Java is C++ -> C is bad analogy http://tinyurl.com/badced as Scala removes lots of J
  2. @shaberman lol! guice rocks - have you seen guiceyfruit :) http://code.google.com/p/gu...
  3. @dima767 I prefer to use scala now if thats what you're asking. I'm totally over my dynamic typing phase :)
  4. @geoffreywiseman personally I try to avoid osgi where I can; hacking web apps in jetty/tomcat is way simpler. it has its uses though
  5. @deanwampler you're most welcome, thanks for a great book! looking forward to finding time to finish reading it :)
  6. @psnively scala + camel works great as a way to work with ActiveMQ :)
  7. @psnively yeah - I really liked the bindforge/scalamodules/peaberry DSL stuff: http://bit.ly/1omSK
  8. @psnively we already made a start at scala APIs to projects I work on :) http://camel.apache.org/sca...
  9. @njbartlett unfortunately today maven transitive dependencies bare little resemblance to osgi runtime dependencies; the pain is in the delta
  10. @stephanosbacon osgi is definitely easier than EARs & jbi deployment units. Its way harder than making web apps in WARs though
  11. working with osgi+maven reminds me of linking big ass c++ programs back in the day. 1 hour coding == 5 days linking :(
  12. @michaelneale thanks for the heads up! text updated :)
  13. @dhanji I understand the pushback on implicit conversions in scala but l like them; you can always just not import them :) tooling important
  14. scala as the long term replacement for java/javac? http://bit.ly/B3sVu
  15. Large Hadron Rap RT @tirsen RT @joewalnes: Understanding the Large Hadron Collider - http://bit.ly/slWnL
  16. idea for meeting ticker http://bit.ly/CYTLg the person arranging the meeting has to enter their credit card, proceeds to charity or beer
  17. trying maven 2.2.0 - so far nothing bad has happened
  18. some stuff I've been hacking on is there; will blog when better documented! RT @rajdavies Fuse Forge - is open! - see http://bit.ly/183CiP
  19. love the meeting ticker :) http://bit.ly/CYTLg
  20. crikey this laptop is almost too hot to use - crazy hot weather and loads of builds don't mix! need to hack in the fridge
