celebrities in scala

Ola niƱos. Hope you recover from the shock of seeing a new entry on this blog. Haven't been here in a while. Looks like this is all still up and running. I'm surprised I still remember my mt password.

So why this entry ? Well, I've done another thing I haven't done in a while: I wrote yet another note in LaTeX solving some simple problem in a pompous way. I used Scala to implement the solution. Scala is coming along nicely, it feels natural to me and it has some powerful abstractions and features. There's definitely a buzz about it. A book on it is now available, the Eclipse plugin behaves well and there are open source projects that use it.
