Didn't think I'd see 'attract younger audience' and 'Scala' in the same sentence. A lot of young people know Java because it's what they learned in school and because a lot of employers use it so it's the first thing they learn on the job. In my opinion, the language is designed in a way that makes it easy to pick up for beginners. The lack of obfuscated operators and foot guns is a plus, and the language forces you to avoid doing 'clever' code golf things, too. |
