Scala might be useable very soon

The Scala 2.8 beta 1 announcement gives hope regarding the availability of a decent IDE for editing Scala code. We will see what Scala 2.8 final looks like, but if the eclipse IDE support features basic Class and Method renaming, I will most likely make Scala my main programming language for writing open source code that targets the JVM. Two projects that I would most likely convert to Scala would be :

  • Gisgraphy Java client : a Java library that gives access to gisgraphy City and GIS features search engine.
  • Pymager Java client : a simple Java wrapper on top of the RESTful interface provided by pymager, an image service that provides simple conversion and thumbnailing / resizing features.
