There are also faker libraries for various languages, e.g. the famous https://github.com/stympy/faker, https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker and a little port in Scala (created by me) https://github.com/justwrote/scala-faker

You can also find the duodecimal system in languages like English and German:
ten, eleven, twelve | thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
zehn, elf, zwölf | dreizehn, vierzehn, fünfzehn, sechzehnComment · 13 years ago
Just wondering, is it better to use relative or absolute URLs ?

Shameless plug: I also created a similar library for Scala some time ago https://github.com/justwrote/scala-faker
Need to update to 2.10 soon :)

So, twitter has a nice tutorial called Scala School (http://twitter.github.com/scala_school) and of course the official site (http://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/) has also some tutorials for programmers coming from other languages.
So what's the best IDE? If you're an eclipse user, it's Scala IDE (http://scala-ide.org/). You can find a full download eclipse + Scala IDE plugins on the typesafe homepage (http://typesafe.com/stack/scala_ide_download). If you're an IntelliJ user like myself you just need to install the Scala plugin.
Both IDE's have there drawbacks, none is perfect. I guess the easiest way to start is using the Scala IDE.
To test your new Scala skills you may want to solve some puzzles (http://scalapuzzles.org).
Have fun!

I was also shocked when I read this article. Didn't know those boxes don't exist in the US. They are quite convenient!

I see. Ebean looks interesting! I'm kinda stigmatized because of Hibernate and therefore avoid any persistence library that calls itself an ORM :)

Ah, I'm not the only one who thinks ORMs suck! That's why I love the latest development in the Scala community towards a non-ORM solution for persistence: Slick (http://slick.typesafe.com) and Play! Anorm (http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/ScalaAnorm)

I'm living in Germany and to support this 'Energiewende', I'm only buying green electricity. It is more expensive but I'm happy to pay more if I can boost the industry around it and also help our environment. Many young people think like this.

For me, the eclipse plugin is crashing (or the whole IDE is freezing for a few seconds) too often when I try to get code completion. On the other hand, in IntelliJ the Scala plugin is pretty good! (Use the nightly builds!)

Yes, it can! Scala:
def Cook(i1: String, i2: String, f: String => Unit) {
println("get the " + i1)
f(i1)
f(i2)
}
Cook("lobster", "water", x => println("pot " + x))
Cook("chicken", "coconut", x => println("boom " + x))
List(1,2,3).sum
List(1,2,3).mkString
List(1,2,3).map(println) // or more verbose List(1,2,3).map(x => println(x))Comment · 15 years ago

Lift:
* stateful
* no code in the view
* there is more than one way to use Lift
Play!:
* stateless
* code in view: similar to erb files in rails
pros and cons about code in the view: http://scalate.fusesource.org/code-in-view.html
My experience: Well lets say on my next project I'll give "code in view" a try :)
