PleasantDilemma: Dec 5, 2006; The Last Hope for Peace

Scala seems pretty cool. I'm getting into more Java these days and out of the php slums, Scala looks like it could be a fun next language to tackle.

KernelSlanders, what do you use Scala for at your work? How much Java did you know before you got into Scala?

As an outsider, here is my preconceptions of Scala:

popular for backend things
somewhat popular for web things
people complain that the language is too complex
I get confused every time I see val four: Int because I want to see the type come before the variable name
