comment is there a term for doing this: func1(func2(), func3());
It's called composition in functional programming as well.

comment Help me deal with higher level languages
About declaring variables: You have to declare (i.e. name) your variables in Ruby just as much as you do in Scala. What you don't have to do is use a special keyword to do so. But the keywords in Scala are meaningful, not just compiler-pleasing gunk like in some languages. They tell you the difference between a variable and a constant. Ruby uses sigils to signify this. I don't see how Scala's val and var are particularly more complex than the difference between @foo, @@foo $foo Foo and foo.

comment Has anyone used Sproutcore?
I claimed that Apple uses it, and it's from Apple itself. MobileMe is written with SproutCore. appleinsider.com/articles/08/06/16/…

I can't answer the question, but I can tell you that Apple itself uses SproutCore for its own .Mac services. So it's at least mature enough for that.
