OSCON is a conference which has various amorphous tracks and most of those relate to the "trends" of tomorrow. Some of the people whom I met were complaining about the lack of Java's presence in the conference. Well, as Tim Bray says, cool kids are not using Java these days. Personally I was a bit disappointed with the lack of presence of the Scala community in OSCON. In fact, except in one of Tim Bray's keynotes, Scala, I guess, never figured in the radar of this year's conference. There were tutorials and BOFs on actor models, where also Scala got only a passing reference. But I digress ..
