@propensive TBH I am more and more against `new` at all, since it precludes instance reuse. (i.e. only makes sense for mutability)
Scala's `new` syntax is an anomaly. I'd rather say `new[Foo](x, y, z)`, or just `new(x, y, z)` if `Foo` is the expected type.

@viktorklang Yeah, I just meant the syntax; `new` itself is another story. But there needs to be some way to create new objects, right? - Show replies

@propensive@sgodbillon but “new” is about class, not type :-/ I prefer the Ruby way (http://Foo.new (x, y, z)) -
@dohzya@sgodbillon Ah, but the `Foo` in `http://Foo.new ` looks like a term then, which isn't necessarily the case... :/ - Show replies

@extempore2 But it had an abstraction as well... More things is better, right?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@extempore2 Also, sarcasm. Anyway, did you have any particular construction abstractions in mind? -
@extempore2 Anything smarter than case class factories, which is the extent of my imagination right now. - Show replies

@extempore2 Yeah, sarcasm works better when there's less ambiguity. My bad...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@extempore2 I look forward to hearing about Fermat's Last Scala Object Construction Abstraction Idea some time!#nescala, maybe.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@extempore2@propensive I'm interested in this idea. What is construction? Allocation + return of a pointer to the allocated space?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
