Scala vs ruby

– Martin Mazur: http://youtu.be/FPBVxpl8NMo @ DevDay

“Why you should talk to strangers?”

Ruby vs Scala

• Designed for humans, not machines • Extreme flexibility: if you mess up, it’s on you • Everything has to be easy, elegant and fun • DSL on top of DSLs on top of DSLs • Testing is critical • Things move quickly, learn to keep up • Passionate and vibrant community

• Have the best of both object oriented and functional programming worlds

• Let the compiler do some of the work for you • Concurrency matters • Less ceremony than Java, but aiming for same or better

performance • Live in harmony with the Java ecosystem
