Citing a need to be able to respond faster to events, and disappointment in the feature set and timeframe for Java 7, the team behind guardian.co.uk is using Scala as an alternative to Java for their new projects. InfoQ spoke to Web Platform Development Team Lead Graham Tackley about their current stack, the reasons behind the move, and the experience of using Scala in large-scale development.
The point of "Graham Hacking Scala" is to share with you my knowledge of and experience with the Scala programming language. The blog will contain everything from introductions to basic features through to in-depth analysis of complex techniques and problems. When I make mistakes, you will learn from my mistakes. When I discover cool features, you will learn about them, too.
EJBs in Scala schreiben
Was spricht eigentlich dagegen, eine EJB in Scala zu implementieren? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, habe ich ein Demo-Projekt aufgesetzt, in dem ich zwei EJBs in Scala implementiere.
This sounds bad, but it needs to happen if Java is to ultimately stay in the mainstream. That is, if feature accretion hasn't already irreparably damaged the language
