Scala is a far superior language to Java. In fact, of all the languages that I have investigated, it is the most powerful language that also targets the JVM and Java libraries easily (sorry CAL). I have long held the position that there are no (with one corner case) rational justifications for using the Java programming language for anything but educating our children on how not to design a programming language even when targetting legacy code. This has of course, been met with ‘what about this?’ and ‘what about that?’[1] all of which I have been able to refute, except for one niggling corner case.

Any title saying that a programming language is "far superior" to another is dubious at best. Especially without any technical merit in this article that has been posted.

I agree jakek, I have seen the language , it is nice but not a "far superior" language at all.

although i like scala and think in many ways it is superior to java, this guy sounds like a self-aggrandizing git. -1

I agree...I like Scala, but the "far superior" earns this article a big thumbs down.

Didn't mind his attitude, but voted the article down for ignorance.
