When I started learning Scala, I was convinced that its designers were positively the worst marketers I had ever seen. The official project page was (and is) peppered with Scala examples of things like quicksort, factoring, prime number sieves and so on. All of these examples were written in such a way as to be virtually incomprehensible to the average OOP developer. In fact, they all had a very simple common denominator which really set me off: they were written with a very functional flair.
