Just worked my way through the Scala Tutorial (PDF). It’s an interesting language so far. It mixes my favorite parts of functional and object oriented languages in an elegant way. I’ll have to write something in it to see if the imperative aspects of the language ruin the functional aspects for me though. Next up: Scala by Example (PDF).
