scala

scala and lift

a web application framework for applications based on the #Scala prgoramming language (more details at http://liftweb.net/)

Any progress on making Scala and Tapestry work together?

Beat me to it! Thanks, David.

The #Esme project is upgraded to #Scala 2.7.2

Patched UserActor.scala so that it works with Scala 2.7.2, by renaming UserActor's mailbox var &refs to _mailbox, avoiding val/var conflict with Actor.mailbox. Will commit patch tomorrow.

Woo Hoo #Lift will be on #Scala 2.7.2 today!!

A lot of blog are talking about Scala. This a good aggregator: http://www.drmaciver.com/planetscala/

btw there seems to be a "Scala for Java programmers" blog entry: http://blogs.sun.com/sundararajan/entry/scala_for_java_programmers

@daniel The scala-lang.org site is the place for Scala documentation. The "Scala by example" is more detailed: http://www.scala-lang.org/sites/default/files/linuxsoft_archives/docu/files/ScalaByExample.pdf

looking into esme soure-code: is there a comprehensive introduction to scala for java-programmers?

@dhague : thanks Darren :) ...

Not a guru, but I'm here...

@vdichev : I'm doing ok for now, I'll let you know if I have questions, thanks :)

@mrinal Are you still having problems and questions about Scala? It's not very similar to Java, I admit. Not a bad thing in itself :)

I've a feeling I'm moving slower at this than I had anticipated .. Scala/Lift is a totally new enviornment .. moving with caution, don't want to break anything I dont know how to fix

found one http://gestalt.monoid.net/blog/2008/02/new-scala-bundle-for-textmate.html .. installed, looks good

looking for a Scala bundle for TextMate

study lift,and try ESME.

Learning lift

Interesting that when a new messaging service is presented, rarely ever someone mentions the platform it's implemented in. So I checked the HTTP headers and Yammer, Present.ly, SocialCast seem to be running on Rails. Only ESME runs on Scala Lift. Only ESME scales enough to permit Comet, which is pretty cool. Could this be seen as a differentiator? I invariably see developers drool when they see it.

Awesome built in XML literals in Scala, or is that in lift, ah!

Trying to aborb seom Lift and Scala from @dpp

just got out of David's Lift hands on session

Pretty much done with the parser stuff... now on to ADT's... #Scala rocks

Checking out Scala Parser Combinators. Great example I can follow at http://debasishg.blogspot.com/Parser (Parser (~)^^)
