Scala pimpin’ with Ted Neward
I recently had the opportunity to discuss Scala with my friend Ted Neward for JavaWorld’s Java Technology Insider. Ted’s been talking about Scala for quite some time now and he’s the person who turned me on to this compelling functional language.
In this conversation, Ted explains what functional programming is and why people should care– he’s got some interesting thoughts regarding OO languages versus functional languages and more importantly, where each paradigm is a good fit. Scala’s definitely got some interesting features– if you are curious to hear them, then have a listen, man!
