We'd like to announce availability of the first implementation of the
Scala programming language. Scala smoothly integrates object-oriented
and functional programming. It is designed to express common
programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. Scala
introduces several innovative language constructs. For instance:
- Abstract types and mixin composition unify ideas from object and
module systems.
- Pattern matching over class hierarchies unifies functional and
object-oriented data access. It greatly simplifies the processing of
XML trees.
- A flexible syntax and type system enables the construction of
advanced libraries and new domain specific languages.
At the same time, Scala is compatible with Java. Java libraries and
frameworks can be used without glue code or additional declarations.
The current implementation of Scala runs on Java VM. It requires JDK
1.4 and can run on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Solaris, and most other
operating systems. A .net version of Scala is currently under
development.

As far as I know, this mailing list is about the Caml languages family.
Your work might be interesting but is not related to this mailing list
and as such I consider it spam. Or you should have made, at least, a
comparison of this language with OCaml.
Sincerely yours,
david

Martin and I discussed this issue before he posted. It is true that
we discuss mostly (but not exclusively) Caml here, but I thought
a number of readers of this list might be interested by the work on
Scala, which attacks the problem of integrating OO, functional and
modular programming from a different angle than Caml, but with the
kind of rigour and principled foundations that we Caml folks like very
much. So, if you think this announcement is spam, I'll share the
blame for that.
This said, further discussions on Scala itself are perhaps best
carried on the Scala mailing list.

It is extremely interesting for language design hobbyists such as myself.
Scala seems to attack the problem at an exclusive angle. I heartily support
the effort of fellow researchers.

It is indeed very general in its outlook. I felt a bit jealous I think.
I'm trying to design an architecture-independent compilation system for
functional languages. The most obvious application would be computational
linear algebra. High Performance Fortran can be surpassed!

I like Caml syntax better.
