Re: Hokay, I officially give up...

Honestly I don't feel qualified to do a feature comparison :)

I've been hearing about Scala for a couple of years now on The Java Posse (Which I'm still a huge fan of despite working at a .Net shop now :) but I don't have a really good feel for the language.

On the face of it, Axum's syntax has a different 'feel' from Scala's - it seems to be a much stricter message passing model.

Perhaps someone well versed in Scala should take a look and report back :)
