Netbeans started getting some major traction around the 2005 - 2007 timeframe, but seems to have lost ground since the Oracle takeover. Limited support for Ruby/JRuby and virtually…

Migration to Scala 2.10 Looking forward to the new language features and performance improvements :)

Not really a prediction if it's something he was already observing.

Is the source available anywhere? 1.5M locally or over a network? What is the size of each message?

+1 for Spring not aging well The only thing that makes me happy in the Java world lately is Scala. It has it's flaws but is much more pleasant that old school Java.

"knew" not "new"

Many of the folks using Scala are experienced Java developers, your posts seem to be based on personal speculation rather than actual facts.

I only develop on Linux, think you got confused by the way I phrased it. I meant that hardly anyone uses the OpenJDK package, not that hardly anyone uses Linux.

The gains for this approach are usually marginal as disk IO is expensive vs generating code in memory using the JIT.

In all seriousness most Java devs. regard the OpenJDK package as "that weird jvm that comes with the OS that nobody actually uses". First thing we do is download the latest JDK fro…

Scala provides tail call optimization and invoke dynamic has been in the JVM for years (since JDK7). The JVM is also considerably faster than the CLR and unlike Mono is heavily use…

My thoughts exactly. Scala seems to be the JVM language gaining the most traction at the moment. The JVM is an extremely impressive piece of engineering. Very reliable, great tooli…

IntelliJ does do autoimport. I have very occasionally seen IntelliJ not offer an import suggestion for a class I have used, but overall it's an extremely polished experience.

I can't speak to the other languages, but Scala is definitely being used pretty heavily in a number of pretty major back-end systems for stock trading, cloud computing, banking and…

I'm really looking forward to using 2.10 now that it's (finally!) final. Over the last year it's been really interesting to see Scala popping up all over the place. One of the inte…

Scalac 500-1000 lines per second according to the link, with a startup time of about 4-8 seconds. Startup time can be worked around with zinc/fsc/nailgun

Most folks find that the IntelliJ Scala plugin is the best tool rather than Eclipse.

That's what nailgun and zinc are for... See what the Jetbrains guys are currently using: http://blog.jetbrains.com/scala/2012/12/28/a-new-way-to-comp...

Types for method and constructor parameters are always explicitly specified. Type inference generally used for local variables and method return types. This strikes a good balance …
