I took my first look at Scala today and I like it. The mixins idea is great. I've missed operator overloading. I love functional languages. The type inference seems cool. Everything is an object is great. Lower and upper type bounds make total sense. Partial functions are very interesting.
I don't like that they kept exceptions and that side-effects are allowed. Probably pragmatic choices, but I still hope for an efficient pure functional language.
Overall, I'm pretty interested in trying it out. I might even propose that the next new non-GUI project we do at work use Scala.
