{{language programming paradigm|generic}}Scala is a hybrid [[functional programming|Functional]]/[[object-oriented|OO]] language developed by Martin Odersky and his team at [http://lamp.epfl.ch/ LAMP]. Scala compiles to [[runs on vm::Java Virtual Machine|JVM]] [[bytecode]], and can inter-operate with [[Java]] code.
|
|
|
|
The language is most focused on the results of the program, therefor the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Considered_harmful considered harmful] technical computer oriented concepts like threads, semaphore, pointers, coercion, casting, goto- and break statements to struggle with are not there. For parallel processing (that very simple can archived) these concept are present but not visible to the programmer.
|
|
|
|
Lots of RC tasks addresses technical "features" of goto's, break, continue, side effects, pointers, type-casting, weak-typing and so on and are deliberately not Scala's cup of tea.
|
|
|
|
Compiled strongly-typed languages, where more defects can be caught at compile time, are less prone to runtime failures than interpreted or weakly-typed languages.
