Scala is a functional programming language compatible with the JVM. The primary difference between Java and Scala is that Scala suffers from syntactic diabetes, and has a ton of stupid rules.

Then, if the rules are stupid, why use it? haha or, is it something that works fine then java. I don't see people use groovy just because of how the functionality of the code works.

Well, obviously that is just my opinion, and there are people out there who enjoy Scala. In the end, all of these languages translate to Java bytecode.

Right, thanks. I might talk with my mate about this stuff and see what he says about it.
