Heh. Clearly the investors didn't do their due diligence, otherwise they would have known that Scala isn't type safe.
So I get downvoted for pointing out the hubris of naming your company TypeSafe when your language isn't?
So, TechCrunch, is Akka a programming language or a middleware framework? High-quality reporting as usual from TC.
Congratulations to the Typesafe team. As a regular user of Scala, it is very welcome news to see the commercial arm succeed. It's interesting to watch hybrid open-source/commercial enterprises develop. Getting the revenue stream right is tricky. I could really see the Typesafe Console growing to offer a whole host of monitoring around distributed computing. If Typesafe provided a wrapper around Hadoop that would be a…
In the meantime, in the alternative universe I wish I were living in, the same thing happens to the company behind the widely used Clojure programming language...
That is good but I have used Scala before and would not recommend it for an enterprise project. It was rather convoluted and had lots of concepts that just would not make sense to the java programmers in our company. There would be teams that could have used it and thrived but overall the complexity of the language seemed to outweigh any reasons I could give to use it. I wish them the best but I think they will have…

It's not Perl all over again. Have you even _read_ those one-liners? Those are neither line-noise, nor fickle one-line imperative solutions. On the contrary, they are elegant and easy to read --you just have to understand the basics of functional programming, map, reduce, filter and the like (which, in themselves are trivial concepts). Stuff like those in the article: (pmap process-line lines) (dotimes [n 4] (println…
To be fair, comparing something like this: (partition-by #(> % 60) [49 58 76 82 88 90]) to so-called line noise code seems reasonable enough. As with Perl, if you immediately know what all the punctuation means and what the underlying structure of the language is, it’s concise, but if you don’t, it’s quite a mess of random-looking symbols. For comparison, here’s a Haskell version, which in this case has a more intuit…
Yeah, a less noisy way to do it in Clojure would be
(partition-by (partial < 60) [49 58 76 82 88 90])

I didn't downvote but it's probably because details are needed for the assertion.
This has come up plenty of times on Hacker News with plenty of examples. modersky generally just writes it off as being "harmful" to the community and other nonsense to avoid the issue. Harmful to his valuation is more like it.
