Stemming the Twitter tide

[martin odersky]

Hi folks,

I was waking up this morning to rampant speciulation on Twitter that somehow we were announcing a new webframework called "Scails" or "Scales" at our BOF at Devoxx. That's complete nonsense. We were asked about Scala web frameworks and talked about Lift and Play and how Play is closer to Rails than Lift. Somebody made a joke about "Scales". It seems some people misunderstood the joke and then the rumours spread.

Just thought I correct the story before it gets too much of a lift on twitter :-).

"Scala on Scales"

A quick look in an online dictionary shows that 'scale' has many meaning in English, leading to rich interpretations... (although 'deposit in a kettle' isn't one of the most positive...)

It's not entirely positive, people will be thinking along these lines:

I would suggest "Train on Rails" instead. Way more sensible than
anything else on rails.

Depends on the type of rail... a train on curtain rails (for example) would look perfectly silly. 

As would a tram or, indeed, one of those handcars much beloved of Warner Bros. cartoons: http://www.lizlyle.lofgrens.org/RmOlSngs/handcar.jpg

Wouldn't that be "Scales on Scala?" :)

Setting the time machine back 4 years... that'd be Scala with Sails ;-)
