Dean Wampler interviewed at OSCON 2010
summary
Scala positions itself as a modern replacement for Java, designed for systems and servers by runs on the JVM while adding functional and modular features that Java lacks. Multiparadigm programming means deliberately mixing languages and modularity styles because real problems are heterogeneous; historical shift from phones built in C/C++ to multi-language stacks illustrates that. Practical takeaway: avoid locking into a single language and cultivate multiparadigm programming as a way to make better design choices.
