Scala 2.10.0 Milestone 3


Scala is releasing the Milestone 3 for the 2.10 version of the Scala Compiler.

This release is generating a lot of discusion, this is caused for the new language modularization feature that the Scala creator is proposed with the SIP, http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/pending/modularizing-language-features.html

For information about the SIP process you can see the following link: http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/index.html

Well the post is about the milestone 3, the features of this milestone are:

  • Language modularization.
  • Type Dinamics.
  • Value Classes. 
  • Futures and Promises for concurrent programming.
  • Other like bug fixes and little proposals. 

Let me know what do you think about this release and if you think that the modularization language proposal is trying to make to Scala a simple leguage which is the biggest criticism that Scala language has?

SIP means Scala Improvement Process.
