Ola Bini is one of my favorite blog reads, and recently he’s been writing about scala a functional language that lives on the JVM.
Scala has been pretty hot in the blogging world recently and the recent availability of Programming in Scala pre-prints should only increase that interest.
Since I’m working for a Java shop, maybe it’s time for me to spend a little more time getting acquainted with Java, JRuby, Scala, and the other languages that run on the JVM. Doing so would certainly tie in with the ideas of learning a new language each year and becoming a polyglot programmer.
