Scala

[mnn]

Is there any "modding with Scala and Forge" tutorial? I saw some mods written in Scala, but I have no idea how to compile it with MCP...

 

EDIT1:

Short description of Scala from Wikipedia:

Scala is a object-functional programming and scripting language for general software applications, statically typed, designed to concisely express solutions in an elegant, type-safe and lightweight manner. Scala includes full support for functional programming (including currying, pattern matching, algebraic data types, lazy evaluation, tail recursion, immutability, etc.). It cleans up what are often considered to have been poor design decisions in Java (e.g. type erasure, checked exceptions, the non-unified type system) and adding a number of other features designed to allow cleaner, more concise and more expressive code to be written.

...

Compared with Java, Scala adds many features of functional programming languages like Scheme, Standard ML and Haskell, including anonymous functions, type inference, list comprehensions (known in Scala as "for-comprehensions"), lazy initialization, extensive language and library support for side-effect-less code, pattern matching, case classes, delimited continuations, higher-order types, much better support for covariance and contravariance than in Java, etc. Scala also provides a unified type system (as in C#, but unlike in Java), where all types, including primitive types like integers and booleans, are objects that are subclasses of the type Any. Scala likewise contains a number of other features present in C# but not Java, including operator overloading, optional parameters, named parameters, raw strings (that may be multi-line in Scala), and no checked exceptions.

What's Scala?

[ashtonr12]

im guessing its like eclipse?

Scala is a programming language.

I have no idea if that's even possible.

It is. For quite some time it's even supported by (recommended version of) FML. But it doesn't seem that MCP supports it, so there are probably needed some modifications of build scripts .

I saw a bunch of scala-related commits in FML and it reminded me this thread. So, nobody on this forum writes mod(s) in Scala (or knows how to do it without writing custom compiling scripts around MCP ones)?
