Scala introduction

If I were to pick a language to use on the JVM today other than Java, it would be Scala. – James Gosling, creator of Java http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/java_net_javaone_which_programming Scala, it must be stated, is the current heir apparent to the Java throne. No other language on the JVM seems as capable of being a "replacement for Java" as Scala, and the momentum behind Scala is now unquestionable. – Charlies Nutter, JRuby lead http://blog.headius.com/2009/04/future-part-one.html My tip though for the long term replacement of javac is Scala. I'm very impressed with it! I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming in Scala book […] back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy. – James Strachan, creator of Groovy http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2009/04/scala-as-long-term-replacement-for.html

Traits (= Interface + Mixin) ,[object Object]

Call to super -> strict semantics

scala.Ordered trait trait Ordered [ A ] { def compare ( that : A ): Int def < ( that : A ): Boolean = ( this compare that ) < 0 def > ( that : A ): Boolean = ( this compare that ) > 0 def <= ( that : A ): Boolean = ( this compare that ) <= 0 def >= ( that : A ): Boolean = ( this compare that ) >= 0 }

The Ordered trait class Person ( val age : Int ) extends Ordered [ Person ] { def compare ( other : Person ) = this . age - other . age } val person1 = new Person (21) val person2 = new Person (31) person1 < person2 // true person1 <= person2 // true person1 >= person2 // false

“Dynamic mixins” class Person ( val name : String, val age : Int ) { override def toString = "My name is " + name } trait Loud { override def toString = super . toString . toUpperCase } val person = new Person ( "Fredrik" , 18) with Loud println ( person ) => MY NAME IS FREDRIK
