My experiment with Scala is not working out. It’s just not ready for prime time, and is overkill for my needs. Reluctantly, I am falling back to Java. Scala is a tour de force of language design. In my mind, it is two languages in one. First, it is a clever fusion of OO and strict functional programming (ala ML). For those coming from OO, I think it is a more natural fusion than that of OCaml & F#
