In trunk I can express problem 48 like so:

def bd(x: Int) = BigDecimal(x) pow x ; (1 to 1000 map bd sum) remainder bd(10)

res0: BigDecimal = 9110846700

(Hoping that’s correct, have no idea…)

Even though it is not yet final, it is easily stable enough to play around with.

I came to it from Ruby (though I had years and years of Java before Ruby). Definitely much better than Java, but I kept trying to chain collection-related commands together, and they kept spitting back different, incompatible things. Then I spent all my time trying to figure out how to convert between the various collection return types into something useful. I know I'm not explaining the problem very well, and maybe it's no longer a problem. I left Scala behind after writing a few things in it about a year or so ago. Maybe if they've figured out the collections, I should give it another shot...suggestions on where to look for help with those collections commands would be appreciated. Maybe I just didn't "get it" my first go-around. I liked the idea of Scala, but when it came right down to it, the execution just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I've used it very briefly at the end of last year, and I must say that it had the most impressive Scala plugin of all three (Netbeans, Eclipse, Intellij) at that time in my opinion.

I'm not sure how stable it is, because I haven't played with it that much yet, but it defenitely is worth mentioning. Cheers, Boudewijn Hi Arjan,

I would like to notice that IntelliJ IDEA also has a very good plugin for Scala development. I’m not sure how stable it is, because I haven’t played with it that much yet, but it defenitely is worth mentioning.

Cheers,
