I'm taking this online course, anybody else up for it?
https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun

It's in Scala, which is an awesome Python-ish language that works in
the Java stack, and is great for doing concurrency in a very simple
manner. All the cool kids are using it.

A lot of the power of the language is it's use of functional
programming idioms and that's what I'm interested in studying.

Oh, and it's taught by Martin Odersky, who designed the SCALA language.

It starts this week, and it's free!

You can also use the JVM to execute python code that has access to most
java classes.  The implementation is called "jython".

Thank you very much Andrew.

I have been curious about Scala for a while. This could be very
enlightening.

cheers

Marcelo
