Why is Scala more scalable than other languages? @TristanSt. Nice spreading of FUD, that's absolutely not the basic take away I got from that interview. - "But for other parts we’ve just gone back to a traditional Java threading model. The engineer working on that, John Kalucki, just found it was a little bit easier to test, a bit more predictable. The nice thing was, it took minutes to switch code that was actor based over to something thread based. It was a couple of search and replaces. So it’s not so bad if actors fail you for whatever reason." Amazing concept - some things suite the actor model and some don't! |

Why is Scala more scalable than other languages? Any supporting evidence for "statically typed means that refactoring is made much easier on large codebases"? Sounds more like a, "it depends", situation then a fact. The only thing I've seen typed languages offer definitively is they are easier for compiler writers to deal with. |

How is type checked in a dynamic language interpreter/compiler, such as JavaScript? They aren't slower because they are dynamic, they are slower because it's harder to make them faster. JavaScript is actually the most optimized and is quite fast. |
