We decided that we can facilitate the Scala adoption by putting its productivity on par with the dynamic languages. To do that we have created a special JavaRebel license that can only be used to reload Scala classes, which we donated to the Scala community for free use for a year.

My. A whole year. How generous.

A year for a start, we will extend the license after that. It's hard to convince the stakeholders of a commercial company to give away something for free forever, but quite possible to convince every year to give for another year. Control is important here.

Thanks! I hope the experiment proves to be beneficial to both JavaRebel and Scala, perhaps allow licenses to be awarded to other JVM languages in the future. Keep it up!

I wouldn't want such a deal (from the receiving side). But maybe that's just me.
