Only for the geeks: Scala is/ain't Java

Finally a bit of code that makes me happy:

def makeClosure(bindMe: Int) = (x: Int) => x + bindMe

A closure that binds at the time the closure is created.

Dead blog? Quiet for two years would be a YES. Between work and a 3 year old son, my free time is pretty slim. I haven’t programmed in Ruby in two years and I have forgotten a lot. I’ve been coding Java at work and I’m spending a little free time learning Scala. From my first attempts at Scala, I think I like the language pretty well. And I believe it is a better language than Groovy.
