Add an eventScala for the Curious Erlang Programmer
A session at Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2010
Scala is a statically-typed, hybrid functional and object-oriented language for the JVM. The Scala standard library includes an Erlang- inspired Actors library. In this talk, I'll discuss how Scala compares and contrasts to Erlang, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each language for particular needs. For example, we'll discuss the pros and cons of a rich type system and static typing in Scala. We'll discuss ways that Scala is perhaps more general purpose than Erlang, but not as powerful in the areas where Erlang excels.
