If you want to learn a new program language because of seeing new concepts or search for a new way to solve a problem which is difficult to implement in the language you are currently using. Give Scala a try!
t is a modern language which combines the best concepts of many programing languages and paradigms. You can program either object oriented or functional just as you wish or its better for solving your problem. The language is very extensible and support you with mechanisms to add new functionality in libraries and you can use them like built-in constructs of the language. That make the language scalable and now you can guess where the name is coming from.
Before I enumerate all features of scala take a look at the homepage or read the book “Programming in Scala”. It is very good start into scala which covers all concepts step by step. You should have already some experience in object oriented programming languages. Java would be great because you can skip some parts of the book. Otherwise you have to read a few pages more which is not really a problem.
Take a look a scala if you have some time. You will not regret it. (Beware that you will ask yourself the question “why it is so complicated to implement…?” if you write code in an other language than Scala).
